Form 1583 from the United States Postal Service (USPS) is a document that authorizes a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) to receive mail on your behalf. This form is required for individuals and businesses who wish to rent a private mailbox or use a virtual mailbox service through a CMRA. Completing and submitting Form 1583 to the USPS grants the CMRA permission to handle your mail and packages, ensuring compliance with USPS regulations.
The form requires you to provide identification and details about yourself or your business, including your name, address, and a government-issued photo ID.
Submitting Form 1583 is necessary to set up a private mailbox or virtual mailbox. Once the form is completed and accepted, the CMRA can legally receive and manage your mail, providing you with the convenience and security of a professional mail-handling service. This form is crucial for anyone using a private mailbox service for personal or business correspondence.
