SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The DMM provides the United States Postal Service's official prices and standards for all domestic mailing services. The most recent issue of the DMM was updated on November 2, 2026.

This issue of the DMM contains all Postal Service domestic mailing standards and continues to: (1) increase the user's ability to find information; (2) increase confidence that users have found all the information they need; and (3) reduce the need to consult multiple chapters of the DMM to locate necessary information. The issue updated on November 2, 2026, sets forth specific changes, including new standards throughout the DMM to support the standards and mail preparation changes implemented since the version updated on April 7, 2025.

The online version of the DMM is available via the Postal Explorer® website at: pe.usps.com. Changes to mailing standards will continue to be published through Federal Register documents and the Postal Bulletin and will appear in the next online version of the DMM.
