Virtual Mailbox & Form 1583 Rules in Nevada
A commercial mail receiving agency (CMRA) or private mailbox (PMB) in Nevada cannot serve as your LLC's registered agent. However, a virtual mailbox address can generally be used as your business address, though you should verify this requirement with your specific business formation documents. When opening a virtual mailbox account, you will need to complete USPS Form 1583, which typically requires notarization or witnessing by the mailbox provider's owner. Nevada permits remote online notarization (RON) under its permanent RON framework established in 2020, meaning you can have the Form 1583 notarized online through an in-state notary rather than in person.
Regulations governing virtual mailboxes and notarization requirements change periodically. This overview presents general information only and should not be considered legal or regulatory advice. Before opening a virtual mailbox account or relying on any CMRA for business purposes, confirm current requirements on the official Nevada Secretary of State website and consult with your attorney or registered agent service to ensure full compliance with state law.
How a virtual mailbox works
A virtual mailbox is a real street address at a commercial mail-receiving agency (CMRA) that scans your mail; opening one means filing USPS PS Form 1583, witnessed by a notary or the provider, with two IDs.

| Can a virtual mailbox be your registered agent? | No (a PMB cannot be your registered agent) |
| Can it be your LLC business address? | Generally yes — verify |

Opening any virtual mailbox means filing USPS PS Form 1583. The form must be witnessed — by a notary or by the mailbox provider (the CMRA owner/manager), in person or by real-time audio-video under the 2024 CMRA Clarification rule — and you supply two acceptable IDs. It is usually notarized, and the notarization can be done online via remote online notarization (RON) wherever the state allows it.

Always confirm the current rule on the official state Secretary of State / notary page before you rely on it — RON law is still moving. This state's RON status is currently medium-confidence (the exact statute section is not yet pinned), so treat the online-notarization detail as a starting point and confirm it on the official page.
