WY Commercial Mail Receiving Agency
As a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency, we can legally and securely offer digital mail forwarding and virtual office services in Wyoming. We’ll explain everything you need to know about hiring a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency for your Wyoming business.
What Is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA)?
A Commercial Mail Receiving Agency is a private business authorized to accept and forward mail on behalf of a client. A business must register with the United State Postal Service before it can provide CMRA services.
To authorize a CMRA to accept and forward your mail, you’ll need to submit Postal Service Form 1583, which must be notarized. When you hire us, you’ll be able to complete this form in your online client portal, and we can have the form notarized for you.
Benefits of Using a CMRA for Your Business Mail
Why receive mail through a CMRA rather than getting a P.O. box or simply using your own address? Here are a few reasons.
Get a real commercial business address
Businesses that use a residential address or a P.O. box tend to look unprofessional. When you hire us as your CMRA, you’ll get a real commercial business address with your own unique suite number, right here in our Sheridan, Wyoming building.
When customers look up your business address, they’ll see a professional office building, not your house.
Keep your home address out of public databases
Many government business forms, like Articles of Organization for Wyoming LLCs and Articles of Incorporation for Wyoming corporations, go on the public record, so you should think hard about the address you provide on these forms.
Our Wyoming registered agent service includes a free business address you can use on state forms for privacy. But if you want a unique address you can use for all your business mail, our mail scanning and virtual office services provide that.
Don’t change your business address every time you move
Changing your business address is an arduous process that involves submitting forms and paying fees to multiple government agencies. Not to mention updating your website, social media, and anywhere else you share your address.
We’re able to offer a stable address with our CMRA services because we own our building. We’re not at risk of losing our lease, and we don’t plan on moving any time soon. You get an address you can “set and forget” no matter where your travels take you.
Keep your business mail organized and secure
When business mail is delivered to your home address, it can easily get misplaced. As your CMRA, we’ll scan and upload your mail to your secure online account, so you can view it any time, no matter where you are. We’ll also automatically shred obvious junk mail.
For added stability and security, we store your documents on our own private servers. Only our in-house staff handle your mail. (No third-party processing hubs!)
