Fragile, heavy, oddly shaped or just a box of clothes for a move: bring it as it is. Buy the box and tape and pack it yourself, or let the counter pack it, then ship it at the same counter.

Before you come in
What to bring
- A current photo ID issued by a U.S. state or the federal government, with your signature on it (driver's license, state ID card or U.S. passport).
- Everyone who is signing, there in person.
- The complete document, not signed yet. If it says to sign in front of a notary, wait.
- Know which form you need: a notary can't choose it for you or give legal advice.
- Call ahead to make sure the notary is in.
- Glasses off. (Only if a doctor says they can't come off, and then bring the signed statement.)
- No hat or head covering, unless it's worn for religious or medical reasons and doesn't hide your face.
- No uniform, camouflage or anything that looks like one, and no headphones or earbuds.
- For a baby, eyes may be closed, and no parent can be in the photo.
- Child's passport with one parent absent? The DS-3053 must be signed in front of a notary or a passport authorizing officer, with a copy of the front and back of that parent's ID. Photos, notary and copies are all at this counter.
- One current photo ID: driver's license, state ID, passport, military ID, permanent resident card or similar.
- One more ID: a lease, mortgage or deed, a voter or vehicle registration card, a home or vehicle insurance policy, or a second photo ID.
- Not accepted as ID: a Social Security card, a birth certificate or a credit card.
- USPS Form 1583, signed in front of the store's staff or a notary.
- The full delivery address with ZIP code, plus a phone number for the person receiving it.
- What's inside and about what it's worth, for insurance or a customs form.
- No box? Boxes, tape and mailers are sold at the counter, or have it packed for you.
- Going abroad? A list of each item, how many and the value, for the customs paperwork.
- The return label, or the QR code from the store's email or app.
- A FedEx QR code and no printer? The counter can scan it and print the label.
- A Happy Returns drop-off: bring the QR code from your return.
- Pack it and seal it if the retailer asks for a box.
- Email the file ahead to print@cardiffpostal.com. A PDF keeps your layout exactly as you made it.

- Not sure what you need? Bring an example; the counter can help you choose.
- The fax number it's going to, and the pages.
- Receiving one here? Give the sender the store's fax number: (832) 437-6157.
