When you hire a Virtual Address with Globalfy, your company gets a US address to receive correspondence!
To allow us to open these letters and make them available to you on our platform, the USPS (United States Postal Service) requires a document called Form 1583.
This form authorizes Globalfy to act as a CMRA (Commercial Mail Receiving Agency) on behalf of your company. In other words, it is the official permission that allows us to manage your mail in a safe and legal way.
Why is notarizing Form 1583 necessary?
- Without a properly notarized Form 1583, we can receive your letters at the address, but we cannot open them.
- In that case, we would only be able to physically forward them anywhere in the world, without digitalization.
- The notarization ensures that the authorization is signed by the legal representative of the company, validating the process with USPS and protecting both your company and Globalfy.
