Use the official CenturyLink billing address on mailed payments
When you need to send a check or money order for CenturyLink services, use the designated billing address shown on your invoice or in your account profile to ensure proper processing and crediting. Sending payments to the wrong address can delay posting and may result in reminders or late notices. This guide explains the typical CenturyLink bill payment address by region, tells how to confirm the correct address for your location, and outlines alternative payment options to mail.
Overview of CenturyLink billing and payment channels
CenturyLink, now part of Lumen Technologies following a rebrand in many markets, provides residential and business communications services across multiple states. The company supports several payment methods, including online account payment, automatic bank draft (ACH), credit or debit card payments, phone payments, and mail. When mailing a payment, customers should always verify the current billing address to avoid misrouted items, especially if they have recently moved or recently changed service location.
Note on name transition: CenturyLink to Lumen
Many statements and correspondence still show the CenturyLink name, but billing and legal entities may be Lumen Technologies or its affiliates. For mail payments, use the address specified on the statement or in your online profile rather than assuming legacy names guarantee the current address. Reply-paid mail and return receipts can help confirm delivery when you send payment by check or money order.
How to locate the correct CenturyLink bill payment address
The most reliable CenturyLink bill payment address is the one printed on your most recent invoice or billing statement. If you prefer to confirm in advance, you can check your account online, review the address section in profile or billing settings, or contact CenturyLink customer support for your local market. Address formats can differ by state and billing center, so avoid reusing an outdated address from an old bill unless it matches the current statement.
Locate the address in your account
- Sign in to your CenturyLink or Lumen online account or mobile app
- Open the billing or profile section and review the address listed for billing or mailed payments
- Compare the address on file with the one on your latest bill or invoice
Contact support for confirmation
If you cannot access your account or need clarification for a specific state or property, contact CenturyLink customer support for the billing address for mailed payments in your location. Have your account number or service address ready to speed up verification.

How to address and send your payment safely
When preparing a mailed payment, write or print the payee name exactly as shown on the statement (often “CenturyLink” or a local billing entity), include your account number in the memo section, and use the address already verified for your location. Consider sending payments with return receipt or confirmation when possible, and avoid sending cash through the mail. If you recently relocated, update your billing address in your account to receive accurate future statements and to ensure your payment reaches the correct processing location.
Alternative ways to pay without mail
To reduce risk and speed up posting, use non-mail payment options when available. Many customers prefer online payment through the CenturyLink or Lumen portal, a bank ACH draft, or a credit/debit card payment by phone or web. These methods post faster, provide confirmation, and avoid mail handling. If you choose to pay by phone, have your account and payment details ready, and note the confirmation number provided by the agent.
Key reminders when mailing a payment
- Always verify the current CenturyLink or Lumen billing address before sending payment.
- Use the address on your latest bill or in your logged-in account profile.
- Include your full account number on the check or money order memo line.
- Send payments early enough to clear before the due date and consider mailing deadlines.
- Keep a copy of the payment and any tracking or confirmation numbers for your records.
Next steps
Check your most recent CenturyLink or Lumen bill for the official billing address, confirm the address in your online profile, and choose a payment method that suits your preferences.
