I just scheduled to have a hold put on my mail while I am going to be out of town in a few weeks. I selected to pick up my mail when I return, because I am unsure of the exact date I will be returning. I got to thinking about it and realized that the address on my ID is not my current address. I moved recently and just haven't gotten around to going to the DMV and getting a new ID made with the new address. Is this going to be a problem when picking up my mail? I have picked up packages at the Post Office before and they said as long as the name matched on the parcel and my ID it was fine. Is the same rule applied when picking up held mail?
 
I would take in your drivers license and maybe a bill that is sent to your house, that would match one that they have holding for you. I think it should be fine. You can even elect to have the mail sent to your house via your mailman when you return. Shouldn't be any problems.
