hey guy, can you update the data on you table? i found some addresses was incorrect which their had marked as Residential and Non-CMRA but actually there were Commercial and CMRA
I have noticed quite a lot of addresses being flagged in the last month, unfortunately. The table updates periodically by itself, but it’s limited by the number of API calls I can make in a month.
However, if you let me know which states you are looking at I’ll make sure those get prioritized.
Update: I went ahead and ran an update of the 1,055 addresses that were currently listed as non-CMRA with no other issues identified. Somewhat surprisingly 28% of all the rechecked addresses came back as now being flagged as CMRAs.
I’m not quite sure what the reason is, but at first I thought that the more recently added addresses would be overrepresented.
So I crunched the numbers by cohort, and it’s surprisingly similar—practically identical—in percentage terms:
I wonder if USPS could have published a major update to their database recently that flagged a lot more addresses as CMRAs.
I might run this test again in a month or two to see how it develops.
I own a coworking business and the CMRA regulations are starting to be strongly enforced. Both Anytime and iPostal basically require compliance now. Our USPS mail carrier mentioned they would have to stop delivering mail if we don’t file a Form 1583 for every customer we want to receive mail for. The 1583/CMRA form gives us the legal right to open and process mail on behalf of the customer. Without it, it’s now illegal to do so. Because of this, I assume that all locations will soon become CMRA compliant. Unfortunately, for nomads, I think the end of non-CMRA virtual mail service is near.

Hey TW. I’m a US citizen wanting to use a VM while I travel abroad for 6-12 months. The Anytime address for 1225 Cypress St Los Angeles CA 90065 showed this message when I added the Ste # - postal-match,unknown-secondary,ignored-input. Any idea what it means or what impact it would have (if any)?
Thanks for all your hard work and time I really appreciate it! 
I just wanted to give you an update. My Anytime mailbox (res, non-CMRA last year 2024) has recently been flagged as a CMRA. More concerning is I received a “Closure Notification” from Anytime Mailbox today saying that “their operating partner has decided to no longer offer Anytime Mailbox services effective April 1st 2025” so I am required now to find a new address, change address and go through all of the verification processes, change bank address, etc. 
Has anyone else run into this problem yet? I’m just wondering if I should stick with anytime mailbox or what’s everyone doing?
ps: also just got request from WISE to ‘verify account’ 
I just thought I would go on the direct website of my anytime mailbox provider to clarify that it really wasn’t spam and this is what their website reads as of today:
https://www.11thhour.company/freethinkerprojects.html
This means mail can’t be collected, scanned or forwarded until you set up a new, forwarding verified mailbox & have it processed by the new company! They’ve stopped working as an Anytime Mailbox operator with ZERO prior notice!
I think this will likely happen again soon unless you can find an operator other than Anytime or iPostal. To continue from my previous comments, we are in the process of opening a second coworking location. I thought it might be beneficial for a group like this to have a non-CMRA address, so I reached out to Anytime to see if they allow that. Unfortunately, not only can you not sign up a new address without being CMRA compliant, but they are also actively converting or shutting down existing operators. I’m not sure what the solution here is, but maybe we could focus on banks that allow CMRA addresses? I think Schwab may be one of them, can anyone confirm? What are the others?
thanks this is interesting. Is there a way to check which addresses have been flagged as non-CMRA and Residential for the longest period of time? thanks!
yes: (check both)
BUT… But they seem to be getting flagged more and more as a mine was listed as Residential & non-CMRA still in Dec '24. It recently got flagged and basically got shut down with zero notice. So yeah, it’s a challenge.
thanks frequencyfit
Thanks. I have enquired with Anytime Mailbox and they “assured” me that the operator gives a minimum of 30 days prior to closing… But I guess getting flagged as CMRA can take place anytime.
not true. I have been (and am) with the Anytime Mailbox. Yesterday, I received the email that the office was closed immediately. So they didn’t even give 24 hours notice (there was ZERO notice). However, Anytime Mailbox says they will cover the additional notary fees if I switch to another Anytime Mailbox service. I’m currently researching which one isn’t CMRA etc. In the meantime, there is no way to collect my mail in person or scan it or collect it in any way until I have a new mailbox setup and the new service scans it for me(!)
I’m not 100% sure when it got flagged as a CMRA. it could have been January or a couple weeks ago…(?) I don’t know if it’s two completely separate issues or maybe their closure was related to their new status. But for the closure… ZERO notice.
