For Business Reply Mail, Use PS Forms 3615 and 6805

Complete Part A of PS Form 3615, Mailing Permit Application and Customer Profile to establish a BRM permit. Complete Section 1 of PS Form 6805, BRM/OBRM Application, to establish a unique BRM ZIP+4 code Assignment/Validation for the BRM address.

The forms must be submitted via email to the Mailing & Shipping Solution Center — Mailing Requirements Department at MSSC@usps.gov for processing. For any questions about the process, contact MSSC at 877-672-0007 (option 2 for mailing and shipping, then; option 1 for Mailing Requirements). Once you have your permit, you can give permission to an authorized representative to distribute and receive BRM pieces at other Post Offices using your permit number. For further information, see DMM 505.1.1 and 505.1.3 at https://pe.usps.gov/text/dmm300/505.htm#1_0.

If you want to use QBRM, you will also need to complete PS Form 6805 BRM/QBRM Application for ZIP+4 Code Assignment/Validation and QBRM Approval. PS Form 6805 is dual-purpose:

1. For obtaining the required unique ZIP+4 codes, whether they are used for BRM or QBRM, and

2. For use as the QBRM-approval form.

For further information, see DMM 505.1.1.3 to 505.1.2 and 505.1.6 at https://pe.usps.gov/text/dmm300/505.htm#1_0.
