Today’s Update: What You Need to Rent a Mailbox
November 8, 2026 · Western Addition, San Francisco
Renting a private mailbox at Fillmore Postal? The U.S. Postal Service requires every mailbox holder to complete PS Form 1583, Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent. Here’s what to bring and what to expect:
- Two forms of ID: one government-issued photo ID and one ID that shows your current address. The address must match the address you write on the form, and IDs must be current (not expired).
- Accepted photo IDs: U.S. state, territory or tribal driver’s license or ID card; passport; U.S. Permanent Resident Card; Certificate of Naturalization; Uniformed Service ID; U.S. Access Card; U.S. university ID card; Matrícula Consular; or NEXUS card.
- Accepted address IDs: driver’s license or state ID card; current lease; mortgage or deed of trust; home or vehicle insurance policy; vehicle registration card; or voter card. A driver’s license or state ID can count as one of your two IDs, but not both.
- Signing the form: you sign in front of our staff, or have your signature acknowledged by a notary public. Notary service is available right here in the store.
- One form per adult: each adult who will receive mail at the box, including spouses, completes a separate form. A parent or guardian can list a minor child without the child’s ID.
- Business mailboxes: also bring the business name, street address, phone number and where the business is registered (county and state, or country).
- Keep it up to date: if any information on your form changes, you need to file an updated form with us.
Ready to get a mailbox? Stop by Fillmore Postal at 1015 Fillmore St with your two IDs.
