Obtaining a Business Reply Mail Permit Number

You must have a valid Business Reply Mail permit before you can mail. You may apply for a permit at any time by filling out PS Form 3615, Mailing Permit Application and Customer Profile. Note: Form 3615 is a simple form requiring you to know the company name, address where the mail will be returned, contact person, and telephone number. The forms are available at your local post office, mailing requirements office, or Business Mail Entry Unit (BMEU).

A Business Reply Mail permit number is issued at the post office where the PS Form 3615 is filed, generally where the mail is returned, and requires a $175.00 fee. The fee is paid annually by cash, check or money order. Note: Checks must be made out to the US Postal Service or Postmaster.
