What is a CMRA and why do I need to complete Form 1583? CMRA stands for Commercial Mail Receiving Agency. Before you can activate a Virtual Office or Business Address with Coconut Point Executive Center (CPEC), USPS regulations require you to complete, sign, and notarize Form 1583, and provide 2 forms of ID.

When you sign this form, you are authorizing CPEC to legally receive mail on your behalf. This protects your identity and helps prevent fraud.

CPEC provides: A partially pre-filled version of the form
