What Is USPS Form 1583 and Why Does It Need to Be Notarized?

📄 What Is USPS Form 1583?

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

By completing this form, you give PostScan Mail legal permission to receive, scan, and forward mail on your behalf.

📌 Without an approved and notarized USPS Form 1583, PostScan Mail is legally required to return incoming mail to the sender. This requirement ensures that only authorized individuals or businesses have access to your mail.

Why Does USPS Form 1583 Need to Be Notarized?

🖋️ Notarization is required for the following reasons:

• USPS Form 1583 authorizes PostScan Mail to receive mail on your behalf.
• The form does not change your address with USPS or automatically forward mail.
• USPS regulations require notarization to verify your identity.
• The notary’s seal confirms that you are the individual authorizing PostScan Mail to manage your mail.
• This step protects your mail from unauthorized access and identity misuse.

🛡️ All information collected is used solely to complete USPS Form 1583 in compliance with federal postal regulations.
