How do I get form 1583 notarized?

How to Notarize and Submit USPS Form 1583

To begin receiving mail with PostScan Mail, a notarized USPS Form 1583 is required. This is a mandatory USPS regulation for all Commercial Mail Receiving Agencies (CMRAs), including PostScan Mail, to ensure your identity and authorize us to receive mail on your behalf.


🔹 How to Notarize Form 1583

You have several convenient options for completing this requirement:


1. Online Notarization via Webcam (Recommended)

PostScan Mail partners with OnlineNotary.net to offer fast, webcam-based notarization.

  • Accessible through the Postal Consent Form Wizard in your PSM account.
  • The notary will sign and stamp the form using an All-Purpose Acknowledgement.
  • Once completed, the form is automatically submitted to us — no additional steps required.

2. Local Notary (Find One Near You)

You can visit a notary public at the following locations:

  • Courthouse
  • Bank or Credit Union
  • Local mail center or office supply store
  • Independent notary businesses

✔ Bonus Tip: Many banks offer free notary services to their members — check with your bank before paying a fee.


3. In-Person Submission (No Notary Required at Some Locations)

Some PostScan Mail locations allow you to submit the USPS Form 1583 without notarization if you visit in person with valid ID.

  • This depends on the individual mailbox location's policy.
  • ✅ Call ahead to confirm whether your subscribed location supports this option.
