How do you open a PO box

How do you open a PO box without using your id? Always had a place to send and now need to open a box. Any advice is appreciated.

I have had a po box before for the same reason that you just mentioned. I had the same idea as not using your real id and so forth, but from what I was told if they are gonna get you they are gonna get you. If you use a differnent name and address they might catch you with fraud as well. Just my 2 cents! Hope this helps!

So you open up PO boxes at the post office with your own name? I thought it was best to open a mail boxes etc. or a UPS store PO Box. But I figured they need some type of id or something?

I did it at the post office which of course required a valid id, I am pretty positive that any place you go for a mail box is going to require an id. Good luck!
