APG Non Profit Authorization
USPS Nonprofit Authorization
Navigating the USPS can be tricky and confusing. APPEALPRINTING will ensure that your organization is properly registered and have a nonprofit authorization number to mail at nonprofit rates.
Maximizing your postage savings will increase the ROI on all your direct mail projects. Contact us today to learn how.
Getting and Staying Authorized to mail at Nonprofit Postage Rates
Step one is getting your USPS nonprofit authorization number. Step two is to designate your mail house (which is of course US!) to mail on your behalf. Lastly, if your organization's name changes or your address changes at any time, it must be updated with the USPS to continue to mail at nonprofit rates.

USPS Authorization Changes
Form PS6015
If your nonprofit uses a name and/or address other than what is associated with your nonprofit authorization number you must fill out form PS6015 to make these changes.
This can be done online using your USPS Gateway Account or at the USPS BMEU you registered with. As always APPEALPRINTING can help with the process.
-
Alternate address process
- Using form PS6015 check the box for alternate address.
- Do not fill out the upper section of the form or your original registration information will be altered. (Unless it needs to be changed then fill it out)
- Submit online or to your local USPS BMEU or let us do it for you.
-
Name Change - Officially change the name of your organization with the USPS
- Fill out the form completely.
- Submit proof of you name change online or to your local USPS BMEU or let us do it for you.

DBA process (This process can be more difficult to accomplish as the USPS doesn't have a clear procedure in place.)

- Do not fill out the upper section or your original registration information will be altered.
