Notarize USPS PS Form 1583 Online!
USPS Form 1583 is a form that authorizes a Commercial Mail Receiving Agent (CMRA) to open your mail and forward it to you.
A CMRA is a business that you authorize to handle your mail. It is generally against federal law to open someone else’s mail or to re-mail unopened mail. However, you can authorize a CMRA to open your mail, forward it, scan it, or dispose of it as you choose.
You can use a CMRA for privacy, convenience, or a home for your business. You can use a CMRA to verify your address for Google, payroll taxes, business nexus, and more. A CMRA gives you a real address in a real location.
The completion of USPS Form 1583, issued by the United States Postal Service (USPS), is an essential requirement for businesses seeking to delegate mail management tasks to a third party, including mail forwarding and scanning services. This PS 1583 Form becomes necessary when you intend to grant authorization to entities other than USPS for the handling of your mail deliveries. To fulfill this process, the form must be either completed in person at a designated mail forwarding facility or witnessed by a notary if submitted through the mail.
Online Notary Service for PS Form 1583
For added convenience, Smoky Mountain Notary offers a user-friendly online notary service, which proves especially useful if you are distant from the forwarding facility.
As the recipient of the mail, you or your business act as the applicant responsible for filling out and obtaining notarization for the 1583 document. This step ensures compliance with the necessary procedures, allowing only authorized parties to manage mail addressed to you.
The mail delivery process involves authorizing a mail forwarding facility to handle your mail under your name. Upon receipt at one of their designated addresses, the facility undertakes tasks such as opening, scanning, or shipping your mail. Engaging a mail forwarding service provides a layer of security, ensuring that only authorized parties can access mail intended for you.
It is important to note that notarizing a 1583 document does not alter your address or instruct the mail forwarding facility on where to send your mail. Typically, you would need to inform senders about the address used at the forwarding facility and may also consider filing a change of address with the United States Postal Service to ensure a seamless mail redirection process.
To successfully notarize the PS Form 1583, two forms of identification are required. For primary forms of ID, acceptable options include a valid U.S. state driver’s license, a U.S. state identification card, or a U.S. passport. The secondary form of ID serves to verify the validity of the address you provide on the form. A comprehensive list of acceptable secondary forms of ID can be found in the Domestic Mail Manual Section 10.4
