Everything you need to know about Virtual Address

Expanding your business to the United States can be a major step towards global success!

To complete the process of incorporating your company and registering on platforms like Amazon or Stripe, having a US address is essential.

This is where the Globalfy Virtual Address service comes in, offering convenience, credibility, and full legal compliance for your business.


Why the Virtual Address Is Indispensable

With a Virtual Address, you can:

  • Register your company in the United States.

  • Open accounts with American banks and fintechs.

  • Be present on platforms that require a US address, projecting professionalism and trust.

In addition, this address is used in various day-to-day business processes, such as:

  • Receiving official documents.

  • Trademark registration.

  • Tax filings.

  • Receiving debit cards from American banks.


What Makes Globalfy Different

The real advantage of Globalfy’s Virtual Address lies in the combination of technology and expert support:

  • Mail reception and scanning within 24 hours.

  • Exclusive client platform to access your documents online, from anywhere in the world.

  • One-click requests for physical mail forwarding to any address worldwide.

  • Compliance Calendar: an exclusive tool that sends reminders about your company’s main US obligations, helping you avoid fines and regulatory issues.

This means that beyond having an address, you gain organization, security, and compliance at every step of your business journey.


The Role of Notarization: Why It’s Required

For Globalfy to open, scan, and upload your letters, the USPS (United States Postal Service) requires the completion and notarization of Form 1583.

This form officially authorizes Globalfy to act as a CMRA (Commercial Mail Receiving Agency) on behalf of your company.


Without it, we can only receive your mail, but we can't open or digitize it.

Notarization ensures that the authorization was signed by the legal representative of the company, validating the process with USPS and protecting both your business and Globalfy.


How Notarization Works with Globalfy

To make things easy, the entire process is handled 100% online inside the Globalfy platform, and it takes only a few minutes:

  1. Choose a representative
    Select one of the company’s partners to sign Form 1583.

  2. Submit the required documents

    • A copy of the passport.

    • Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, lease, insurance policy, deed, mortgage, or vehicle registration).

  3. Schedule the notarization session
    The session is done online, at no extra cost, with notaries available in Portuguese, English, or Spanish.

  4. All set!
    Once signed and validated, Globalfy is officially authorized to open and digitize your correspondence in the mailroom.

⏱ Average time to complete the process: 10 to 15 minutes.


Benefits of Notarizing Form 1583

  • Full compliance with USPS requirements.

  • Legal security for your company and Globalfy.

  • Instant digital access to your correspondence.

  • Fast, simple, and no extra costs.

  • Multilingual support at every step.


What Happens If You Cancel the Virtual Address?

If you choose to cancel the service, there are important consequences:

  • You will need to remove the Globalfy address from your company’s records with the State, IRS, banks, and other institutions.

  • An amendment (corporate change) will be required to update your address, with costs that vary depending on the State and the IRS.

  • Any mail sent to the canceled address will be returned to the sender.
