Virtual Mailbox Form 1583 Requirements Explained
If you’re setting up a virtual mailbox or mail forwarding service, you’ll likely need a notarized USPS Form 1583. Here are the most common requirements and how to keep the process smooth.
Typical Form 1583 requirements
Most providers ask for a completed Form 1583, a valid photo ID, and a notarized signature. Some providers also request extra information such as mailbox number, CMRA address, or additional supporting pages.
ID requirements
A government-issued photo ID is typically required. Make sure the name and photo are clear, and that the ID is not expired.
Can it be notarized online?
Often yes. Remote Online Notarization (RON) can be completed online depending on eligibility and identity verification requirements. This helps customers who are traveling, overseas, or far from a local notary.
How to avoid delays
- Use PDF for Form 1583 when possible (clearer than phone photos).
- Don’t crop your ID—keep the full card visible.
- Include Request ID + Email in the payment note.
