POST ID Act

S 3003, the POST ID Act, allows the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to offer identity verification services to private companies. The bill authorizes USPS to verify individuals' identities using government-issued documents and issue authenticators (like digital codes or physical devices) for private sector use, such as signing up for services. Private companies would pay fees covering all USPS costs for these services, with no profit allowed. USPS isn't required to provide these services, and the bill ensures they don't interfere with the Postal Service's core mission.
