USPS Compliance Audits Are Increasing in 2025

Here’s How Operators Can Stay Ahead

USPS compliance audits are on the rise in 2025, with more frequent enforcement actions targeting virtual office and coworking operators. To avoid costly disruptions, it’s crucial to have a proactive compliance strategy in place.

Why Are Audits Increasing?

USPS is intensifying audits to ensure operators follow identity verification, documentation, and reporting standards.

Operators without secure digital workflows are more vulnerable and are more likely to face fines, service interruptions, or even shutdowns.

What Does True Compliance Require?

A modern compliance system must:

• Securely capture IDs and track expiration dates, including digital notarization of USPS Form 1583
  
  
• Provide automated, quarterly reporting and documentation
  
  
• Offer real-time compliance tracking for all customers

FAQ

Q: What triggers a USPS compliance audit?

A: Audits are often triggered by missing or incomplete Form 1583 documentation, improper ID verification, customer complaints, or random physical checks now being conducted by USPS at operator locations.

Q: How does digital notarization help with compliance?
A: Digital notarization ensures Form 1583 is executed accurately and stored securely, reducing audit risk and simplifying the entire onboarding process. As the only identity verification method explicitly recognized by USPS, it eliminates the need for manual paperwork, saving operators valuable time and ensuring full regulatory alignment—unlike alternative methods not outlined in USPS regulations.
