You can find the owner of a PO box by contacting the post office directly. They will require you to provide the PO box number and some basic information about the owner.

The post office will then check their records to see if the PO box is registered to a business or individual. If it's registered to a business, you may need to contact the business directly to obtain the owner's information.

Some PO boxes are rented through third-party companies, which can make it more challenging to find the owner. However, the post office can still assist you in tracking down the owner.

In some cases, the post office may not be able to disclose the owner's information due to privacy laws.

Requesting Box Holder Info

Requesting box holder info can be a bit tricky, but I've got the scoop. To start, you'll need to file a formal request with the postmaster in the jurisdiction where the PO box is located. This request form includes details like the box holder's name and address, your capacity (process server, attorney, etc.), and relevant statutes or regulations.

You'll need to fill out a form, which is typically authorized through a pre-litigation request. Make sure to adhere to legal and privacy regulations, as this is a formal request.

If you're dealing with a business-related issue, you can try accessing the information from a local post office after filling out a form. However, if it's a personal issue, you'll need to get a legally-backed document with court proceedings and take it to a local post office.

Here are the steps to follow:

The postmaster will review your request and determine whether to release the information. Remember, this is a formal request, and you'll need to have a legitimate reason for seeking the box holder's information.

Alternative Methods

If you're unable to access the post office's online directory, you can try contacting the post office directly to ask for the owner's information. This can be a lengthy process, but it's a viable option.

Some post offices may have a public terminal where you can look up a PO box's owner, but this is not a guaranteed feature.

You can also try visiting the post office in person and asking the staff if they can provide you with the owner's information. Be prepared to provide some basic information about the PO box, such as the box number.

Visit a Local Post Office

Visiting a local post office is a straightforward way to look up a post office box owner. You'll need to provide some information and possibly documents, so it's a good idea to check what's required beforehand.

Some states allow the release of information about a box holder for business purposes, so if that's your reason, you're more likely to get the information you need. If it's for personal matters, you'll need to provide court-backed documents.

To visit a local post office, you'll need to get the requirements from your local post office first. Understand what documents or information they need, and have them ready to present.

You'll need to provide a reason for needing the information, so be prepared to explain. If you can't provide a reason, you may need to look into other alternatives.

Here are the steps to follow:

  • Get the requirements from your local post office
  • Understand what documents or information they need
  • Visit the local post office with the necessary documents or evidence

A reverse search can be a long shot, but it's worth trying. Using a PO address to find someone's mailing status or activity can be challenging, but a reverse PO box search can help you find a forwarding address and get details about the owner.

Only a few tools can perform this reverse post office box owner search, and the service can be free or paid. If you find a good reverse lookup tool, creating an account is the first step, which allows the software to gather data and provide accurate information.

You'll be asked to fill out the requested details, including the person's box number, box address, and name. Providing additional information can also be helpful in the search.

The software gathers data from various databases to which the address or number has been registered, and eventually, you should get a leading result of the PO owner's information. If you don't get a result, the software suggests what to do next.

This method should be your last resort if you've already tried other options. It's not free, and you'll pay for their services to track down the PO box owner.

You can find a private investigator online or get a referral from someone who has used one before. They'll need all the relevant information you have to help with the search.

These experts will provide regular status reports about the PO box owner, but you won't know how they're doing the search. You'll just have to wait for as long as they tell you to.

You'll need to have some sort of legal and legitimate reasoning to be requesting the information, and the postmaster will not give out information if they believe or prove that the applicant has ill intentions.

If you're unable to obtain the boxholder information from the postmaster, you can try searching online using search engines, social media accounts, and the state's Secretary of State database. However, be sure to follow all applicable federal and state privacy laws, as well as any other applicable privacy laws, before using these methods.
