# PS Form 1094: request PO Box key or lock service

USPS PS Form 1094 is the Request for Post Office Box Key or Lock Service. It is used by the Post Office that manages a PO Box when a box customer requests additional keys, a replacement key, or lock service. It is not the application for opening a PO Box, and USPS does not list it as a public web form.

## Quick answer
Contact or visit the Post Office where the PO Box is located. USPS Publication 223 lists PS Form 1094 as a Post Office form and marks its public web availability as unavailable. The managing Post Office supplies and processes the request under the current PO Box rules and fees.

## PS Form 1094 vs. PS Form 1093
| Form         | Purpose                                                | Where to start                                                                               |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| PS Form 1093 | Apply for Post Office Box service                      | Apply online or take the application and required identification to the selected Post Office |
| PS Form 1094 | Request PO Box key or lock service for an existing box | Contact the Post Office that manages the box                                                 |

If you are opening a new box, start with PS Form 1093. USPS says a new key-type PO Box normally comes with two keys after the application, payment, and identity-verification steps are complete.

## When to ask about PS Form 1094
- You need more than the two keys originally issued for a key-type PO Box.
- A PO Box key was lost and you need a replacement.
- The primary box customer wants the lock changed.
- A key or lock is damaged and the Post Office needs to determine the correct service.

The applicable charge depends on the service and the current USPS price list. Do not rely on an old copy of PS Form 1094 for prices; ask the managing Post Office for the current amount.

## Can you download PS Form 1094?
USPS's official forms directory identifies the form but does not provide a public web download. Third-party sites may offer files labeled PS Form 1094, but an old or unofficial copy does not establish the current fee or local processing requirements.

Use the Post Office that manages the box. That location can verify the customer, determine whether the request is for an additional key, replacement key, or lock change, and supply the correct paperwork.

## What to bring
USPS may need to verify the PO Box customer and account. Before visiting, have:

- The PO Box number and Post Office location.
- Government-issued identification accepted by USPS.
- The existing key if it is damaged rather than lost.
- The primary box customer if the request involves changing the lock.
- A way to pay the current fee when one applies.

Confirm the exact requirements with the location before making a special trip.

## Can PostalForm submit PS Form 1094?
No. This is a USPS PO Box service request tied to an existing box and handled by the managing Post Office. PostalForm mails documents; it does not administer PO Boxes, issue keys, change locks, or replace USPS counter verification.
