How to Get a PO Box

February 16, 2020 by shipsafe

Obtaining PO Box rental is a fairly easy procedure that anyone can do. Usually, you have to go to the local post office to sign up for the PO Box but now the process is even easier. You can now reserve a postal box through the internet and pay online. You only need to follow the three simple steps below to get your PO Box.

  • Pick the PO Box Size and Location

The first thing you need to decide before you ask things like how much is a PO box is to decide where you want it to be located and how big you want your mailbox. This depends on the monthly mail deliveries you expect will be coming to your home.

Selecting the location of your PO Box rental should be the most important decision you make since all postal boxes reside on the premise of the post office. Most people want to get a postal box near their home or workplace for maximum convenience. However, you can also get a postal box in another state or city as per your needs. You need to choose the location based on the amount of mail you are expecting to receive every week or so. This will let you know how often you will need to travel to pick up your packages.

With the size, you should note that a standard PO Box comes in 5 main sizes as stated below:

  • X Small size 1 – 3″ x 5.5″
  • Small size 2 – 5″ x 5.5″
  • Medium size 3 – 11″ x 5.5″
  • Large size 4 – 11″ x 11″
  • X Large size 5 – 22.5″ x 12″

You should pick the size depending on your expected type of mail and how often you pick the mail.

  • Get a PO Box

You can go to the post office in person or reserve the PO Box online. Both these ways will require you to fill Form 1583 and will need two forms of IDs. One of the IDs must have a photograph of you.

  • Redirect Your Mail

Once you get your PO Box rental, the next thing you should do is to redirect all your packages and mail to the new PO Box. This will require you to fill out the Change of Address Form which you can get at any post office or online.

How Much Is aPo Box?

PO Box costs are dependent on the size and location you choose. If you choose one in an area with less demand, then you can pay less. Check the PO Box pricing online to get an idea about the costs.
