What is the difference between Legal and Mailing Address?
All accounts require a Legal Address of record at Fidelity as we are required by the USA PATRIOT Act to obtain this information in order to verify our customers. In some instances, a Mailing Address may also be added to the account that is different from the Legal Address. This situation occurs when a customer has separate mailing and residential addresses (for example, a P.O. box as mailing address).

How will changing my address restrict my account?
After an address update is submitted, check requests totaling $10,000 or more may be restricted for 10 business days. Certain service requests, such as beneficiary updates, may also be prevented to ensure account security.
Check redemptions totaling $10,000 or more may be made in writing by Requesting a Check, which requires completing the appropriate form and obtaining a signature guarantee.
If the Fidelity account has enrolled in Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), funds may be transferred between a Fidelity account and a customer's bank account.

Why can't I use a PO box for my legal/residential address?

How is my address maintained by Fidelity?
Fidelity interfaces with the United States Post Office's National Change of Address data to identify recent moves and information provided by customers to the Post Office. New address information received from the Postal Service may be applied to your legal and/or mailing address of record at Fidelity. If Fidelity updates your mailing address of record, in most cases a confirmation of this change will be mailed to your old address. We will not send a confirmation for minor changes within your address such as adding Zip+4 information, updating abbreviated words like "Street" to "ST", or for punctuation changes.
If you do not want your address updated automatically, you may contact Fidelity to opt out of future updates.
