Form 1583 in all of its glory

At the time of writing this blog post, the USPS Form 1583 (Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent) was updated June 2024. I can provide June 2024 1583 Help! The form has been updated, and I've observed that many websites contain outdated information about it. This blog post will clarify the fields in the form. Always refer to the USPS website for the most current version. Be sure to follow the official instructions provided on the form and the USPS website and from your mailbox provider. Everything in this post applies to virtual mailbox providers as well as traditional brick and mortar providers.

In providing the information below, I am assuming YOU are the applicant. Please keep this in mind in case you are not the applicant.
