The list of street-address mailboxes that says what each one can and cannot be used for

WhichMailbox is a public directory of US virtual mailbox and commercial mail receiving agency (CMRA) street-address services. Use it to pick a provider and an address type for mail, LLC correspondence, privacy, expats, or RV life. It is not a tax advisor, domicile mill, or bank-approval stamp.

Read this first. A real street address is not the same thing as a registered office, a bank-accepted business location, or a legal domicile. Many CMRA addresses work well for receiving mail. Some states, banks, and payment processors reject the same address for filings or KYC. We never claim an address is accepted by all banks, by Stripe, by Mercury, or by every secretary of state.

RV-oriented services are a different product: more forwarding, less “virtual office.” See RV and snowbird mail forwarding for Escapees (TX / FL / SD), America's Mailbox (South Dakota), and St. Brendan's Isle (Florida).

Compare the big three How mailbox fees actually work

Four jobs people mix up

Job	What it is	Typical tool	Will a virtual mailbox do it?
Receive and manage mail	Letters, scans, packages, shred, forward	CMRA / virtual mailbox	Yes — this is the product
LLC mailing address	Where the state, IRS, vendors, and banks send paper	Street address you control	Often, as mail — not as the registered office. Confirm the state form.
Bank / processor KYC	CIP wants a principal place of business or other physical location	Whatever that institution accepts this month	Not guaranteed — CMRA flags are common. Never assume Stripe or Mercury will take it.
Domicile / residency	Where you actually live for tax, voting, driver license, vehicles	Facts and presence, not a PMB	A mailbox does not create domicile

What a CMRA is, in USPS English

A Commercial Mail Receiving Agency is a private business that accepts US Mail on behalf of someone else. Virtual mailbox companies, The UPS Store, and many pack-and-ship shops are CMRAs. USPS delivers the mail to the shop. The shop puts it in a private mailbox (PMB). To open one you complete PS Form 1583 with two current IDs, and you generally need a notary or an in-person/video verification with the CMRA.

USPS requires the address to include PMB or # plus your box number. Mail without that designation can be returned “Undeliverable as Addressed, Missing PMB or # Sign.” After you close the box, the CMRA — not USPS change-of-address — must remail First-Class and similar mail for six months.

How we write

Publicly listed features and prices, with a link out. If a dollar amount is not on the provider’s own page, we say so.
No invented “X% of banks accept this” statistics and no income claims.
When a provider’s marketing disagrees with its support page, we prefer the support page (example: PostScan Mail check deposit).
When a provider warns against using its own mailbox for banking, we quote that (example: VirtualPostMail; Anytime Mailbox FAQ).
