What is a usps form 1583?
USPS Form 1583, officially titled "Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent," is a federal form required by the United States Postal Service. It authorizes a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) — such as a virtual mailbox provider, UPS Store, or mail forwarding service — to accept and handle mail and packages on your behalf.
When you need one
