USPS Form 1583 — Step‑by‑Step

This form authorizes your mailbox provider to receive mail for you. Getting it right prevents account holds.

What You Need

  • Two IDs (one government photo ID).
  • Your mailbox address/PMB and provider info.
  • In‑person or online notary.

Filling the Form

  1. Enter legal name(s) and add business names if applicable.
  2. Copy the PMB exactly as given.
  3. List two valid IDs with numbers and expiry.
  4. Sign in front of a notary; then upload the notarized form.

Common Mistakes

Missing second ID, wrong PMB format, signing before the notary, unreadable scans. Keep a copy of your notarized form for banks that verify addresses.
