New Member Registration
Thank you for choosing Americas-Mailbox! We're very close to opening your account and taking care of your mail forwarding needs. All that's left is some paperwork.
Please note:
- You MUST have an account with us BEFORE having any mail sent to us, else we are REQUIRED by the post office to mark it "Return to Sender" and send it back.
- If you want to register your vehicle, you should open your account BEFORE registering--or even before buying--to take advantage of South Dakota's low taxes. A few states have requirements as to how long you must be a resident of another state before you can avoid paying sales tax on a purchase; check with your current state to make sure you meet their requirements.
We need several forms from you to open your account. Please don't hesitate to call us if you need help filling any of these in.
Download the complete application kit here, which includes all the forms you need plus instructions. If you have any problems at all downloading the Application Kit, please give us a call at 605-593-4496 or email us at Office@AmericasMailbox.net and we'll get one out to you quickly.
- OR - download only the parts you need:
- Americas-Mailbox Application - This is just the application form (and instructions), nothing else.
- US Postal Service Form 1583 - This is what gives us permission to accept your mail. This is NOT what tells the US Postal Service to forward your mail to us--you have to do that at your local post office.
- Power of Attorney - This only gives us authorization to apply for your title and registrations on your behalf - nothing else. You only need to fill this out if you want us to register your vehicle. PLEASE NOTE: The Power of Attorney MUST be notarized! If it is not, we must return it to you to get it done, causing unnecessary delays and cost.
- Vehicle Registration Checklist - Download these two pages to learn what information Americas Mailbox needs from you to fill out all the paperwork to register your vehicles for you.
It doesn't take very long to open an account with us or to get your license plates once the paperwork is in place. But please, don't wait until the last moment to do this. Have us set up your account first.
If you'd like (and you include your request in writing when you send us the application), we'll even process the paperwork you send us and activate your account on the date that you specify or when we receive the first piece of mail or package. This way, you can start telling whomever sends you mail your new address right away and start getting things set up. So far as we know, Americas-Mailbox is the only company in the country willing to do that for you.
