Arizona Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA)
We are a USPS certified Arizona CMRA. This means we are able to receive your personal and business mail directly from the Post Office on your behalf.
Our Arizona CMRA service is designed for entrepreneurs, frequent travelers, and growing companies who want real mail security with a reliable, professional business street address.
What is an Arizona CMRA?
An Arizona CMRA is a private business that provides mail receiving services on behalf of its clients. A CMRA can accept mail for both businesses and individuals.
Then, the CMRA makes your mail available to you in a few ways:
- Physical Mail Pickup: Your mail is held inside the CMRA building and placed inside its own little mailbox secured by lock and key
- Pro – Your mail is secured inside a locked mailbox in a locked building.
- Con – Access to your mail is limited by business hours, you need a key, and you need to drive or bus or cab it to pick up your mail.
- Autoship Physical Mail Forwarding: Your mail is saved, gathered, and sent to you periodically (once a week is typical)
- Pro – You get all your mail in one envelope.
- Con – You have to wait to get your mail, you have no idea what’s been waiting for your attention, you might be paying to have junk mail sent to you (#sadface).
- Digital Forwarding with Mail Scanning: Scanned images of your mail are uploaded to an encrypted private online account you can access 24/7
- Pro – You can see your mail as soon as it’s received on your phone or computer.
- Con – You won’t see any junk mail…could be a “con” if you like junk mail.
Basically, we’re your local reliable mail handler that gives you the freedom to stay current on all your mail, without the hassle of picking it up yourself.
How do I get my mail with Arizona CMRA?
We offer the Digital Forwarding with Mail Scanning option. Here’s the process:
- We get your mail
- We filter out the junk mail
- We scan and upload images of your mail to your online account
- We keep the originals in storage for you for 60 days
- You download or print copies of your mail as needed, or…

All your mail is processed in house right here in our secure Phoenix, Arizona office building. So, there’s never a delay in receiving your mail due to sending it out to a third party processor.

Arizona CMRA FAQs
Do I have to submit the Form 1583 to get Statutory Agent Service?
No, hiring us as your Arizona Statutory Agent does not require the Form 1583. As a state certified statutory agent, we are qualified to receive state business notices and legal mail on behalf of you and your business. That’s part of being a statutory agent. However, if you hire us for extra mail receiving services for all your mail, like our Virtual Office or Digital Mail Scanning service, this does require the Form 1583.
Do I need to get Form 1583 notarized?
CMRAs are allowed to verify a 1583 in place of the notary requirement, so we’ll handle the authentication of your form to make the sign up process super easy for you.
Can I use one Form 1583 for more than one business?
No, you will need to submit a Form 1583 for each business or individual using CMRA services.
Does a CMRA service accept mail from all mail services?
Yes! A CMRA service can accept mail from USPS, UPS, DHL, FedEx, and more!
Do CMRAs accept packages?
Some CMRAs do accept packages, but it’s up to each agency to decide to do so. At Arizona Statutory Agent, we do not accept packages. If you are having a package shipped to you, you will need to have it sent to a different address.
Can I use a CMRA if I don’t live in the USA and I’m not a US citizen?
Yes, non-US citizens who do not live in the USA can still use a CMRA, as long as the ID and proof of address requirements are met (see above). Non-US addresses are perfectly acceptable.
Can I use the same document for both ID and proof of address?
No, you will need to provide a picture ID and a separate document for proof of address.
