Start online

Start your mailbox from home. Finish it at the counter.

Pick your box, give us your details, and answer the federal paperwork here. The form itself gets signed in front of whoever checks your two IDs — our staff, or a notary over video — which takes about five minutes. We'll set that up with you.

1Pick your box and term

2Your details

Anyone else receiving mail at this box?

Up to 3 names are included (yours counts as one). Extra names are $5 each. Everyone listed signs their own Form 1583.

3Prepare your USPS Form 1583

Federal rules require this form before we can accept mail for you. You can't sign it online — it gets signed in front of the person who checks your ID — but you can answer it here, which makes the counter visit a signature rather than a form. Don't send ID numbers or photos — just tell us which documents you'll bring.

Opening it for a business? (optional)

A business receiving mail here needs its own Form 1583, naming where it's registered.

4How would you like to finish the ID check?

This part can't be done by web form. USPS Form 1583 requires your two IDs to be checked by a person — either in front of our staff, or by a notary who verifies your identity remotely. That's a federal rule for mail-receiving agencies, not a shop policy, and there is no online-only route around it.
