In the United States, the U.S. Postal Service regulates how mail can be received and handled. USPS also dictates required procedures for commercial mail-receiving agents (CMRAs) like us to follow.
The USPS Form 1583 is used to authorize a CMRA to receive mail on the mailbox renter’s behalf. It also ensures that a responsible party is linked to the mailbox.
To give an operator authority to accept mail on a renter’s behalf, a renter must fill out and submit a CMRA form along with two types of identification.
Using PilotoMail’s seamless and secure ID verification process to ensure compliance with U.S. federal regulations, CMRA forms are pre-filled with a renter’s information ready for them to verify their identity and add their signature directly to our platform.
This cheat sheet is designed to help you know what information goes into each field of the CMRA form.
