The United States Postal Service (USPS) requires all Commercial Mail Receiving Agents (CMRA), like Earth Class Mail, a LegalZoom Company, to collect a notarized USPS Form 1583 from customers. This form verifies your identity and provides official consent for us to receive and manage mail on your behalf.
Two forms of identification must be presented to our online notary partners during the notarization session. A primary ID with a photo, and a secondary ID with a home address.
The notary company that we partner with speaks both English and Spanish so you must be comfortable navigating the notarization interview in one of those languages. Your ID must also be in a language that uses the Latin alphabet.
