What is IMI (Intelligent Mail Indicia) compliance?

Equipment changes are required for many businesses using a postage meter. Today, the United States Postal Service is continuing the legacy of innovation by introducing the Intelligent mail indicia, or IMI for short. Our video provides a quick historical overview of the evolution of mail and the upcoming requirements to avoid mail disruption.  IMI or Intelligent Mail Indicia has been around for some time, but by the end of 2024, the USPS is requiring those that still use IBI technology to transition to IMI. 

The IMI meter imprint will further improve USPS postal operations and increase security standards for all mail sizes and shapes. Businesses that currently use older, non-compliant postage meters will need to upgrade to an IMI-compliant system by 2024.
