Note: Most Permit Imprint numbers are distributed by the main Post Office in your area, which may not be the place you will drop-off your mail. Before heading out, call your local Post Office and ask where you need to take your application.

At the Post Office, submit your Form 3615 and pay the $180.00 Permit Imprint application fee. This one-time only fee is separate from the annual mailing fee. It covers the costs of setting up an account in your organization’s name. |
Note: You are not required to put money into this account when you set it up or keep a balance in this account. You can wait until you bring in your first mailing to deposit money into your account, and simply pay each time you mail. Remember, you must have money in this account to mail.

Retain your record of your permit imprint number and your receipt in a safe place. Your receipt will be a perforated stub of Form 3615. It will have your permit imprint number, the date and additional information. |
Note: It’s possible to have a different permit number for each method of payment you use--one for your precancelled stamps, one for your permit imprint, and one for your postage meter. Remember to use the right one!
