How to cancel AARP by mail

  1. Start with your account details

    Have your member number, the name on the membership and the renewal date shown on your latest invoice to hand. The details in the letter need to match what AARP has on file.

  2. Set out the request

    Your Postbye letter to AARP asks for three things: the account closed, no further charges and a written confirmation, all under “Subject: Subscription termination – AARP”. It comes from our English template.

  3. Mail the letter with a receipt

    Post it by certified mail to AARP in Lakewood, United States, using the exact address below, and note the tracking number.

  4. Keep the proof of delivery

    Delivery confirmation is your evidence that AARP was asked. Watch the next statement or two for any further AARP charge.

With Postbye, steps 2 to 4 take about two minutes of your time.

Cancelling a membership

Memberships renew on the anniversary of joining and may be cancelled at a counter, online or in writing depending on the organisation, so a written request names the member number and the end date.

Putting the request in writing means there is a date on file for when you asked, which matters if a charge appears afterwards.

AARP lets you cancel directly (online (My Account) or phone). A letter is the fallback that leaves a dated record when the direct route fails.

AARP cancellation questions

Where do I send my AARP cancellation letter?

Address the letter to AARP, 3200 E Carson St, Lakewood, CA 90712.

How long does a cancellation letter to AARP take?

AARP's address is in California. USPS states that First-Class Mail is delivered in 1 to 5 days. The delivery receipt records the day your letter actually arrived, and that is the date to quote. USPS: First-Class Mail

Does AARP require notice before I cancel?

The rule we recorded for AARP: Turn off automatic renewal before the renewal date; AARP says membership can be cancelled any time. Mail the letter early enough that its delivery receipt falls inside that window.

What do I need to cancel AARP?

Have your member number, the name on the membership and the renewal date shown on your latest invoice to hand. The details in the letter need to match what AARP has on file.

Will AARP confirm my cancellation?

The letter asks AARP to end the account, stop further charges and confirm in writing, but a reply is not guaranteed. What you can rely on is the delivery receipt: it shows the date AARP received the request. If a charge posts after that date, quote the receipt with your copy of the letter.
