      • You will need to fill it out, as a representative of the Organization that owns the List (Top Section), then print it out, sign it, and date it. Then scan it and email it back to us.
        • We also recommend you save a physical copy and an electronic copy for your records.

USPS PAF Guide

  • (REQUIRED) A Valid Email Address needs to be included. Once the PAF is submitted an email will be sent to the Valid Email Address to verify all is correct in the PAF document. Once you respond it will be automatically accepted and verified. We will then have the ability to process your data.
  • (REQUIRED) The Post Office requires a physical address, a PO Box or PMB are not valid entries according to USPS.
  • (REQUIRED) The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code needs to be included. The NAICS code must be the 6-digit code which can be determined here depending on the List Owner Organization or Entity type: 2022 NAICS CHANGES | NAICS Association
