Free at-home COVID-19 rapid tests are now available for order and delivery through the United States Postal Service®. Starting September 26, 2024, each household can receive 4 tests per order, with a limit of 1 order per residential address. This limit applies regardless of household size.

This initiative is part of a federal program providing free at-home COVID-19 tests with no shipping cost to every residential address and PO Box™ in the U.S. While shipments are limited to U.S. addresses, we do deliver to APO/FPO/DPO addresses as well as U.S. territories and possessions. Please note, tests cannot be ordered for business addresses or business PO Boxes.

Ordering Online:

Please visit COVIDTests.gov to receive order confirmation and tracking information, be sure to provide an email address. USPS Customer Care agents cannot retrieve your tracking numbers or assist you without it. Once your package ships, you will receive both a confirmation email and an email with your tracking number. If you complete your order without providing an email address, you will not have access to tracking information or assistance in locating your packages. Please verify that your shipping address and email address are correct before placing your order, as no changes can be made afterward. Service Requests and Missing Mail searches cannot be submitted without a tracking number.

Tests specifically designed for people who are blind, have low vision, or have low dexterity are available to order by phone. To place an order, please call 1-800-232-0233 (TTY 1-888-720-7489), available from 8 AM to midnight Eastern, 7 days a week. These tests are designed to be more accessible for blind or low vision users, as well as those with low dexterity. They require downloading and installing an app from the App Store or Google Play. Since supplies are limited, please only order if the tests are intended for individuals who are blind, have low vision, or have low dexterity, and who cannot use other types of tests available through COVIDTests.gov. Each order includes 4 tests. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) offers additional resources to help you find more accessible COVID-19 tests.
