Effective 12/24/25, the United States Postal Service made a change in procedure that affects the timing of “machine” postmarks. The change is that machine postmarks will reflect the date mail is first processed at a regional facility, NOT when dropped in a local mailbox. This change in procedure has the impact of potentially causing delays for time-sensitive mail, like tax payments and other bills/filings where postmarks are used to determine timely receipt. The potential delay can be a 1-3 day gap between mailing and the official postmark. The impact of this action by the USPS on time sensitive items is that it could lead to penalties mandated by law.
