ID requirements for USPS Form 1583 (common issues)

You need a valid photo ID and proof of address for each recipient to complete USPS Form 1583.

Updated over 5 months ago

To complete USPS Form 1583, each recipient must provide one valid photo ID and one document showing their real residential address. Typical combinations are a passport or driver’s license plus a utility bill, bank statement, or lease with the same name and address you enter on the form.

Common issues that delay approval include expired IDs, names that do not match the form, documents with a different address, and blurry or cropped images where details are unreadable. Make sure all documents are current, clearly visible, and show the full document, and upload them in your dashboard when prompted during virtual mailbox setup.

If you are unsure whether a document will be accepted, choose a more standard option (passport, driver’s license, utility bill, bank statement) or contact support before your notary appointment.
