Already have your Form 1583?
You don't need to fill it out again. Upload the PDF your mailbox provider sent you — we notarize that exact document and give you back a tamper-evident signed copy you can forward straight to them.
How it works
Upload your Form 1583
The PDF from your mailbox provider, or a photo of a printed copy. Fill in your details first, but don't sign it — the notary has to watch you sign.
Verify your identity
Photograph your government-issued photo ID. Automated verification takes seconds, so there's no waiting on a manual review.
Meet your notary
A commissioned notary joins you on video, witnesses your signature, completes the notarial block already printed on the form, and applies their electronic seal. You download the notarized PDF straight away.
What you
need
- Your completed but UNSIGNED Form 1583
- Two forms of identification — one government-issued photo ID, plus a second document verifying the address on the form
- A device with a working camera and microphone
- About ten minutes
- If the mailbox is for a business, the business details your provider asks for
- Every person who will receive mail at the address must be listed and identified
Why Form 1583 needs a notary at all
PS Form 1583 is what authorizes a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency — a virtual mailbox service, a UPS Store, a mail forwarding company — to accept mail on your behalf. Because that agency is taking delivery of your mail, the Postal Service requires your signature on the form to be notarized and requires the agency to keep the form and copies of your identification on file. Without the notarization, your provider cannot start receiving mail for you.
The two-ID requirement is where most forms get rejected
You need two forms of identification, and they do different jobs. The first must be a government-issued photo ID — a driver's licence, passport, or state ID — which proves you are who you say you are. The second has to verify the address you have written on the form; a vehicle registration, a lease, a voter registration card or a home or vehicle insurance policy will normally do it. A photo ID on its own is not enough, and this is the single most common reason a completed 1583 comes back rejected. Have both ready before you start the session.
Will your mailbox provider accept a remotely notarized form?
Nearly all of them do — remotely notarized 1583s are routine for CMRAs, and a notarization performed under a state's remote online notarization law carries the same legal effect as one done across a counter. Your provider is the party that has to retain the form, though, so if you want certainty it is worth a one-line check with them before your session. If they have their own version of the form, upload theirs and we will notarize that one.
One form per agency, and one identified person per recipient
Each Commercial Mail Receiving Agency needs its own Form 1583 — a form notarized for one provider does not transfer to another. And every individual who will receive mail at that address has to be named on the form and identified, which for a household or a company can mean several people. Additional signers can join the same video session from their own devices, wherever they are.
