Mailbox Rental Identification Requirements

​

To open a mailbox at Sound Postal, the U.S. Postal Service requires all customers to complete USPS Form 1583 and present two valid, unexpired forms of identification:

• One Photo ID (Box 8 requirement)

• One Address ID (Box 9 requirement)

Your two IDs cannot be the same type of ID. For example, you cannot use a driver’s license for both categories.

1. Acceptable Photo ID

Your photo ID must include your name, ID number, issuing authority, and expiration date.

Approved forms include:

• U.S. state driver’s license or non-driver ID

• Uniformed service ID

• U.S. Access Card

• U.S. university ID card

• Passport

• Nexus card

• Permanent resident card

• Certificate of naturalization

• Matricula Consular

2. Acceptable Address-Verifying ID 

Your address ID must show your full name and current physical residential address.

Approved forms include:

• U.S. state driver’s license or non-driver ID (may only be used for one category — not both)

• Current lease

• Home or vehicle insurance policy

• Mortgage or deed of trust

• Vehicle registration card

• Voter card

Important Notes

• Both IDs must be current and not expired.

• Your two IDs cannot both be a driver’s license.

• Your address must reflect where you currently live (no P.O. boxes).

• These requirements apply to all mailbox rentals under USPS regulations.
