Form 1583: Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent

The USPS Form 1583 (also referred to as Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent) is a mandatory authorization form required by the United States Postal Service whenever a customer wants a third party (like Bizee or any commercial mail receiving agency) to provide a Virtual Address and receive and manage mail on their behalf.

Bizee will facilitate this process through a third party for you to be able to verify the document through your Dashboard. 

Note: Your order needs to be completed for you to be able to complete the verification.
 

Verification Steps and Accepted Documents

To activate your Virtual Address service, you will need to upload one valid photo ID and one document that verifies your current address. This is a standard USPS requirement that applies to all customers using a virtual address in the U.S., and unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions—only officially accepted documents will be approved.

Important Notes:

• The two documents must be different—you can’t use the same one for both steps.
• Expired or unsupported documents (e.g., bank statements, screenshots, SSN, application forms, or utility bills) will be rejected.
• Both documents must be clear and readable in full.
• All documents must include your information.
   

Step 1: A Valid Photo ID

This must be a government-issued ID showing your full name and photo. Accepted options include:

• Passport
• U.S. Driver’s License
• U.S. State ID
• U.S. Permanent Resident Card

Note: For international customers, only a passport is accepted for this step. Other foreign IDs are not permitted by USPS.

Step 2: A Document That Shows Your Address

This must show your full name and physical address, matching the information you submit on the application. Accepted documents include:

• Voter Card or National ID
• Vehicle Registration
• Current Residential Lease
• Home or Auto Insurance Policy
• Mortgage or Deed of Trust
• United States (only) Driver’s License
