Keep reading to learn how hiring a CMRA (like us) can streamline all your business mail needs.
What is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agent?
A Commercial Mail Receiving Agency is a USPS-certified business that can provide virtual office and digital mail forwarding services.
To authorize a CMRA to accept and handle your company’s mail, you must complete Postal Service Form 1583 and submit a photo ID and proof of address. When you hire us, you can access and complete Form 1583 directly in your client portal. There is no burden on you to authenticate the form — our team will handle everything.
Why hire a Commercial Mail Receiving Agent?
Privacy. If you don’t own or rent a traditional storefront or office, you still need a business address to put on state forms. And, using your home address can make you a target for scammers. Hiring a CMRA gives you a USPS-verified commercial business address you can use on public forms, your website, social media–virtually anywhere.
Secure document storage. As a business owner, you have a lot of paperwork to keep track of — bills, invoices, tax documents, state notices, etc. When you sign up for our mail forwarding or virtual office services, we’ll scan all your mail into a secure online account. The best part? You’ll never have to worry about anything getting lost or sitting unattended in a home mailbox.
Stability. If you travel frequently or run a remote office, using a CMRA provides your business with a permanent address. It also prevents you from having to change your address frequently—and possibly lose mail—or from using an unprofessional or private address, like your home or a P.O. Box.
