New home; tried to do a "change of address", but postal service doesn't recognize new address. What do I do?
Just bought a new home, the only one on a newly constructed side street off of a main road. I tried to do an address change online, but the new address isn’t being recognized by US Postal Service system. The builder listed the house under this new address, so why doesn’tt the postal service recognize it and is there anything I can do to make this address exist for the postal service? The mail carrier that comes by here doesn’t know what I need to do.

I would say that your new address is not yet in the address system for the Post Office, especially since you say that it is a new street and the first house on it. Talk to your local PO and ask them to add your street and number range. It shouldn’t take too many days for address management to get it added to the carriers scheme and then the system will recognize the new address.
