Where to Mail Your CenturyLink Payment
For paper checks and money orders, use the CenturyLink payment mailing address specific to your state or billing region to avoid delays. The most commonly used address is:
- CenturyLink — ATTN: Billing — P.O. Box 3838 — Denver, CO 80203—3838 USA
Always include your CenturyLink account number and a note stating "Payment" on the envelope. If you recently moved or received a bill with a different address, verify that address on your bill or statement before mailing.
Common CenturyLink Payment Addresses
CenturyLink may direct customers to different regional centers depending on the state or type of payment. Confirm the billing address listed on your most recent statement, because local regulatory or legacy billing arrangements can change the preferred location. If you send payment to an address that is not aligned with your account region, it can be returned or create processing delays. When in doubt, contact CenturyLink customer support or use electronic payment options to avoid mail latency.

How to Find the Correct CenturyLink Payment Address for Your Bill
Because CenturyLink operates in multiple regions, the address on your invoice is the authoritative source for where to send payment. If you do not see an address on your bill, call CenturyLink or check your online account profile to confirm the regional processing center assigned to your account. Using the wrong address can cause returned mail or late fees if the payment is not recorded by the due date.
What to Include in the Envelope
- Remittance letter or a note with "Payment" clearly indicated
- Your CenturyLink account number (found on your bill or online account)
- Check or money order made payable to CenturyLink or as directed on your bill
- Return address on the envelope to receive any confirmation or receipt by mail
Payment Options That Avoid the Mail
To reduce the risk of lost mail or processing delays, consider electronic payments. Many customers prefer online account payment, automatic bank draft, or mobile app payment, which post immediately to your account and provide a digital receipt. If you choose to pay by phone with a debit or credit card, you may incur a convenience fee depending on the payment processor in your region.
Common FAQs: CenturyLink Payment by Mail
- Can I pay with a personal check? Yes, checks are generally accepted. Include your account number and the word "Payment" on the memo line of the check, and reference it on the envelope.
- Can I send cash? CenturyLink does not recommend sending cash via mail; use a check, money order, or electronic payment for traceability.
- Will a money order also work? Yes, money orders payable to CenturyLink are accepted. Ensure the money order includes the account number and payment note.
- Do I need to include a check stub? While not always required, including a detached check stub or writing your account number on the envelope helps speed processing.
- What if I send payment and do not receive a receipt? Keep a copy of the check, money order confirmation, and certified mail receipt if possible. If you do not receive a statement credit within 7–10 business days after the postmark, contact CenturyLink support.
- Does the payment address differ if I’m in a rural delivery area? In some regions, postal routing may direct CenturyLink correspondence to a nearby distribution center; confirm the address on your bill or by calling support.
Verifying the Address Before You Mail
Bills and statements often display the billing address you should use. If the printed address differs from the one noted here, follow the printed address first. When in doubt, confirm the address by:
- Logging into your online account and checking the billing profile
- Calling CenturyLink support and asking for the correct billing address for your account
- Reviewing the return address on your most recent bill
Keeping a short record of the date you mailed payment and the tracking method (e.g., certified or restricted mail) can help resolve disputes if a payment is lost.
