How To Fill Out PS Form 1583 for Online Notarization (Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent)

Notarize your USPS Form 1583 quickly and easily using online notarization.

If you’re setting up a virtual mailbox, mail forwarding service, or using a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA), the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) requires PS Form 1583 to be completed and notarized before you can receive mail through a third party. While the form itself isn’t complicated, filling it out correctly and getting it notarized can be a hassle—especially if you’re overseas or in a hurry. That’s where remote online notarization (RON) comes in to save the day.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the entire process, from filling out PS Form 1583 correctly to notarizing it online in minutes—without ever stepping foot in a notary’s office.

What is USPS PS Form 1583?

PS Form 1583, officially known as the “Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent,” is a USPS-required document that allows a third party, such as a CMRA or virtual mailbox provider, to receive mail on your behalf.

This form serves two main purposes:

✅ Authorizes your mail provider (such as iPostal1, Anytime Mailbox, or Earth Class Mail) to accept and forward mail to you.
✅ Ensures proper identity verification, preventing unauthorized individuals from collecting mail that isn’t theirs.

Why Do You Need PS Form 1583?

There are many reasons why someone might need mail forwarding or a virtual mailbox:

Frequent Travelers & Expats – If you’re always on the move or living abroad, a CMRA ensures you never miss important mail.
RV Enthusiasts & Digital Nomads – Enjoy life on the road without worrying about a permanent address.
Business Owners – Establish a professional mailing address for your company instead of using your home address.
Privacy & Security – Keep your personal address private by using a CMRA address instead.

Whatever your reason, completing and notarizing PS Form 1583 is a necessary step to get your mail delivered by an agent.

Enter the address of your Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) or virtual mailbox provider. Your service provider will supply this information.

If receiving mail as a business, enter the company name and address.
If this does not apply to you, leave this section blank.

7. Agent’s Signature (Box 7)
