What You Need to Know About USPS IMI Compliance

August 30, 2024

USPS IBI is being retired. To maintain compliance in 2025, you will need to upgrade to USPS IMI - the Intelligent Mail Indicia.

Businesses printing postage have relied on USPS IBI machines for over 2 decades. But times are changing. The USPS IBI program is being replaced by the USPS IMI system, an upgraded new version with more security and a lot more features. Businesses have a lot to gain from the upgrade, but the choice to upgrade is expiring.

As of June 30, 2024, all IBI meters will be decertified. On December 31, 2024, IBI postage will no longer be accepted.
