Hi Renee, Fill out Form 1583-A (just a 1 page form) and return it to your local post office. Also, you need to have each member fill out Form 1583 as well, and either show you 2 forms of ID or get it notarized and return it to you. (We actually automate this process for you if you join SphereMail. We send your members the forms when the sign up, and offer an online notarization service).
I'd be glad to chat with you more about this if you'd like! As mentioned, I'm with SphereMail. We are a web based mail management software that is used by coworking spaces everywhere to manage their mail---so, mail management is kind of our thing. Email me if you have any questions: [email protected] I can also answer questions about our service as well. Happy to help!
