How to Rent a Post Office box

Sometimes a home address is too personal to give out or frequent relocation makes address changes burdensome. Renting a PO Box provides privacy and convenience in capturing one place to retrieve postal mail.
Steps

1. There are lots of reasons to get a post office box. Maybe you have to because there is no delivery service to the house where you live. Maybe you have a business and want a special place for that mail. Maybe you want to write a letter to a friend or penpal, but don't want them to know your actual address. Maybe you just want your mail private and unavailable to anyone walking by. Whatever the reason getting a private mail box is easy.
2. Find a place to rent a box. Besides the standard, United States Postal Service (USPS), there are several places to rent mail boxes: Grocery stores, Shipping establishments. Some have waiting lists. Plan ahead in order to get the location you want.
3. Gather together three forms of I.D. (Driver's license, bank card, passport, Sheriff's I.D., mail with current address, birth certificate, S.S.number)These will work.
