Probably. (See Part 1, box 11 of the USPS Application for Post Office Box for the verbatim.)

The problem with USPS's requirement of a second form of valid ID, since a Social Security card or birth certificate is unacceptable, is what the hell form of proof is left to proffer them in addition to the usual state DL/non-DL state ID., if not just some other form of gummit ID? I mean, it's just lunacy! I doubt my press ID would work since it has no expiration. (Oddly, it's practically golden at airport checkpoints. )

Don't you love the doublespeak here:
