Permit Holder

Mailer ID
This number is used by the Intelligent Mail Barcode system to identify mailers and is different from the mail permit number. This is a string of either six or nine numeric characters, containing the valid Mailer ID issued by the USPS. You can apply for a Mailer ID by visiting usps.com and clicking on the Business Customer Gateway link at the bottom of the page.

To request a Mailer ID (MID) go to http://www.usps.com/ and select the Business Customer Gateway located on the bottom right hand corner of the web page footer. You must either be an existing or a registered user, or can sign-up as a new user for a business account to gain access to the Business Customer Gateway. Once you have access, request the "Mailer ID" tool and proceed with the "Request a MID" button to obtain a MID.

CAPS/CTAS
Centralized Account Process System (CAPS) number, if any, to be printed on the postage statement. CAPS is an electronic postage payment system that provides business mailers a centralized, convenient, and cost-effective way to pay for postage. It provides an electronic alternative to presenting checks and cash for postage and fees at multiple post offices.
Customer Number
If the mailing is being handled by a third party for a client, that client's customer number can be entered here.
Permit Number
Unique number used to identify the mailer to the USPS. This information is included on the postage statement and qualification report. This would normally be the bulk permit number assigned by the USPS when you turned in form 3615 at the local Post Office. For information on applying for a Bulk Mail Permit, visit usps.com and click on Business. Follow the links for payment options, under the link about Postage meters.
Federal Code
For federal agencies only. This code is for a special federal agency number.
