A virtual mailbox handles your mail. A virtual office adds a coworking address and member access to space where the location offers it. Walk through one day to see where each one stops.
The lease-backed address is Registate's third option, shown for comparison. Workspace access depends on the location.
The mailbox and the office share the same mail tools. The difference is the address itself and what you can use on site. The lease-backed address is here for comparison.
Business plans, lowest monthly price across our locations; prices vary by city and billing cycle. Plan limits are targets, not guarantees. Workspace access, hours and bookings are set by each location. See all plans, the mailbox or the virtual office.
Four common situations and the option that usually covers them.
Letters from the IRS, the state or your bank reach a US street address. You read the envelope online and decide what happens next. No desk needed, so don't pay for one.
You want an address at a working coworking space and member access to rooms when a meeting comes up. Check what your location offers before you order.
Some providers reject addresses they identify as a mailbox. A lease-backed suite comes with a signed lease and a utility bill. Each provider still makes its own decision.
3 recipients, 3 users
2 recipients, 6 users
Every person who receives mail at the address needs their own Form 1583, and each plan caps recipients and users. Match the plan to your headcount.
Receiving mail through a service and proving where your business operates are two different things, with different documents.
For the mailbox and the virtual office. It authorizes a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) to receive mail for you.
For the lease-backed address. Form 1583 only lets us take your mail; it doesn't show your business operates at the address.

Mail handling, workspace, Form 1583 and proof of address.
Both give you a US street address where your mail is received, photographed and then scanned, forwarded, stored or shredded as you choose. A virtual mailbox uses a PMB number and includes no workspace. Our virtual office uses a coworking address with a member number, with coworking and meeting rooms at a member discount. Desk access and hours depend on the location.
Yes. USPS requires Form 1583 whenever a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency receives mail for you, with one form per person or business getting mail there. You show two IDs, and the signature is witnessed in person or on a real-time video call, or acknowledged by a notary.
Form 1583 only authorizes a mail service to receive your mail; it doesn't show your business operates at the address. Some banks and platforms reject addresses they identify as a mailbox. If you need proof of address, our lease-backed address comes with a signed lease and a utility bill. Each provider still makes its own decision.
On the virtual office plan you get coworking and meeting rooms at a member discount where the location offers them. The mailbox plans include no desk, but still get 15% off conference rooms and coworking where available. Hours and bookings vary by location, so email info@registate.com to check yours first.
The virtual mailbox. Prices vary by city and billing cycle, and some plans start with an introductory price. The side-by-side table shows the lowest current monthly price for each plan, and the pricing page has every location.
Your address changes when you move between a PMB, a coworking member address and a leased suite, so you'd update it with banks, platforms and the state. Ask us before switching and we'll tell you what's involved at your location.
