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 current lease, mortgage or deed of trust, voter or vehicle registration card, or home or vehicle insurance policy with the same name and address you enter on the form. USPS no longer accepts utility bills or bank statements as proof of address.
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 or driver’s license, plus a lease, mortgage or vehicle registration) or contact support before your notary appointment.
