What is the purpose of USPS Form 1583?
Any person or company who rents a PO Box directly through the post office or a mailing address from an approved third party business location (called a CMRA) must fill this out. It is kept on file by the USPS United States Postal Service so they can keep track of the identity of those who use an address in the event a bad actor uses the address for an illegal purpose.
Allowed identifications to get it notarized
For this particular form, they need two pieces of identification. And believe it or not, credit cards, social security, and birth certificates will not be accepted. And one of the pieces of identification must have a photo of you on it. Here is a list of what they will accept from you which is also written on the form itself:
- Valid driver's license or state non-driver's identification card
- Armed forces, government, university, or recognized corporate identification card
- Passport
- Alien registration card or certificate of naturalization
- Current lease, mortgage or Deed of Trust
- Voter or vehicle registration card
- Home or vehicle insurance policy
