Acceptable Forms of Identification

The Postal Service has added new Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) section 608.10.0, Forms of Identification, to act as the primary source for consistent standards on acceptable and unacceptable forms of identification.

DMM section 608.10.0 includes subsections that:

  • provide a table of the products and services that require acceptable forms of identification and the number of forms (primary and secondary) required
  • provide a description of acceptable “primary” forms of identification and include a table of which “primary” forms are acceptable for each product and service
  • provide a description of acceptable “secondary” forms of identification
  • provide examples of unacceptable forms of identification.

More information can be found in the May 9, 2019, issue of the Postal Bulletin and in the DMM. Both are available on the Postal Explorer website at: https://pe.usps.com/.
