USPS Compliance

The United States Postal Service (USPS) introduced a new Form 1583, which must be completed by all clients of BSSI, a USPS Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA).

The Form 1583:

  • Confirms your intention of having a Private Mailbox (virtual office) with BSSI.
  • Authorizes BSSI to manage your mail.
  • Documents the individuals authorized to use the address.
  • Prevents unauthorized interception of mail.
In order to maintain operational status as a USPS agency, BSSI must collect USPS Form 1583 from clients for each company account.  Per USPS, “failure to comply will subject the agency to withholding of mail from delivery until corrective action is taken.”
Clients must also provide two forms of identification for each individual associated with the company who receives or picks up mail.
