Why do I need to have Form 1583 notarized?

๐Ÿ“„ What Is USPS Form 1583 and Why Do I Need to Have It Notarized?

The United States Postal Service (USPS) Form 1583 is a mandatory authorization form required by the USPS for all customers using a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA), such as PostScan Mail.


๐Ÿ“จ What Does Form 1583 Do?

  • Authorizes PostScan Mail to receive mail on your behalf
  • Allows us to open, scan, forward, or securely handle your mail
  • Ensures that only authorized individuals or businesses have access to mail addressed to them

๐Ÿ“Œ Important:

  • This form does not change your USPS mailing address
  • It does not tell us where to forward your mail โ€” forwarding is set up separately in your PostScan Mail account

๐Ÿ–‹๏ธ Why Does It Need to Be Notarized?

  • USPS regulations require that Form 1583 be notarized to verify your identity
  • The notary seal ensures that you are the rightful person authorizing PostScan Mail to act on your behalf
