  • Why do I need to send a photo ID?

    To ensure your mail and account’s security, we ask for a photo ID that matches the name on your credit card. This is a best practice advised by credit card companies and the Security Standard Council to protect you from fraud.

     

  • What forms of photo ID can I send?

    • At least one ID must be a government-issued photo ID

  • Why do I need a 1583 form?

    As we are a CMRA (Commercial Mail Receiving Agency) we need your legal permission to receive and handle mail delivered by USPS. So if you expect to receive regular US mail we will need the 1583 form and it must be notarized per USPS regulations.

    Please note that the form is NOT related to mail forwarding with USPS where you wish to forward mail from an existing US address to your address with us. This is something you will request separately with USPS either in person in their post offices or via their website.

     

  • How can I complete form 1583?

    We provide you a customize pre-filled copy of the form in your account/dashboard. Along with detailed instructions, live support and notary services to complete the form.

     

  • Do I need to complete the Postal Consent Form (Form 1583)?

    Yes. This form authorizes us to receive mail addressed to you. It is for the security of your mail and USPS postal regulations require us to have a signed, notarized Form 1583 on the account.

     

  • What is a notary and where can I find one?

     

    A notary is a licensed official who will verify your identity and provide an official stamp on the USPS Form 1583. This stamp (in English or the local language) is required on your Form 1583 for it to be complete.

    Some options to get the form notarized include:

    • Using a local official, such as an attorney or bank official, who can provide a similar stamp. Notarization can take place in any country you reside in. 
    • Using an online notary service – this option is for US citizens only.
    • Call your country’s US Embassy for the service, if you’re a US citizen.
    • Notarize via Zoom call with US Global Mail. You can book an appointment via your account. Please email support@stage.usglobalmail.com if you need assistance on how to do this.

    Note: Notary services do incur a small fee in most cases.

     

  • What address do I send the physical 1583 form to?

    Please send it to:
    Attn: Activations
    1321 Upland Drive
    Houston, TX 77043
