Completing the US Post Office Form 1583 is required for various postal services including receiving mail at a virtual mailbox such as Anytime Mailbox. This guide aims to provide a summary of each section and any key points that would have helped me. The current form is available at https://about.usps.com/forms/ps1583.pdf
Section 1: Personal Information
Begin by entering your full legal name, including any aliases, and your complete residential address. Include all relevant contact details, such as phone numbers and email addresses. Ensure accuracy, as any discrepancies may lead to processing delays.
2 forms of ID was required, photo ID and proof of address.
Anytime Mailbox was able to pre-populate all of the information and I needed to double check.
Section 2: Agent Information
If you are using an agent or company representative, provide their details in this section. Include the agent’s legal name, address, and contact information. Specify the relationship between you and the agent and clarify their authority regarding your mail and services.
Section 3: Notarization of Your US Post Office Form 1583
Understanding the notarization process is critical. Schedule an appointment with a notary public to certify your signature on the form. This step adds a layer of validity to your submission. Remember to bring appropriate identification and any required fees for notary services.
Utilizing an online notarization service offers convenience and efficiency for individuals seeking to certify documents like the US Post Office Form 1583. The service is usually about $20 USD per document. In September 2024 I was quoted $25 USD for using Anytime Mailbox partner ‘Proof’. These platforms provide a seamless experience, allowing users to connect (via video call) with a licensed notary public remotely from the comfort of their own home or office. With just a few clicks, documents can be securely uploaded, reviewed, and digitally signed, eliminating the need for in-person appointments and lengthy processing times. Online notarization services adhere to stringent security protocols to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the notarized documents, offering peace of mind to users. By harnessing the power of technology, individuals can expedite the notarization process and access postal services with greater ease and efficiency.
At a UPS store in Florida, I was charged $10 USD for the notary and $5 USD for a signature witness. At a California UPS store I was charger $15 USD for the notary. Add $5.50 for internet access and printing in store and taxes – it cost more than the online!
