One mailbox address for all your mail

A Postal virtual mailbox gives your business a permanent street address for receiving mail. Every piece is securely scanned, and made available to you online. AI-tools take the heavy lifting out of handling and actioning your mail.

Unlike a PO Box, you can use a Postal address to register your business with government agencies, open bank accounts, file with the IRS, and receive packages from all major carriers. Your address is yours permanently, with a unique suite number that only your business uses.

Mail handling and compliance in a single workflow

When mail arrives at your Postal address, it goes directly to a secure, on-site scanning facility. Every piece is opened and scanned, then processed securely by Postal's AI. Deadlines are extracted, the contents is summarized, and all required actions are flagged. You see all of this in your easy-to-use dashboard.

For compliance-related correspondence like state filings, regulatory notices, and licensing demands, you can tag in the Postal compliance team and they’ll handle it for you.

How does a virtual mailbox compare to other options?

A virtual mailbox is one of several ways to manage your business address and mail. Each option serves a different purpose. Here's how they compare.

Virtual mailbox vs registered agent

A registered agent is a legal requirement, not a mail service. Every business entity in the US must designate a registered agent in each state where it's registered. That agent receives service of process like legal notices, lawsuits, and official government correspondence on your behalf.

A virtual mailbox handles your general business mail. It receives, scans, and summarizes all your incoming correspondence, not just legal documents.

Postal offers both. You can use your Postal virtual mailbox as your primary business address, and add registered agent coverage in any state where you're registered. Everything is visible from the same dashboard.

Virtual mailbox vs. virtual address

A virtual address is primarily a business address for registration and credibility. It gives you a location to put on your website, business cards, and filings.

A virtual mailbox goes further. It receives and processes your mail.

With Postal, you get both: a combined virtual address and a virtual mailbox for a single low rate.

Virtual mailbox vs. PO Box

A PO Box is a postal box located inside a post office. It can receive mail, but it comes with limitations for businesses.

You can't use a PO Box to register your business with most government agencies. You can't receive packages from FedEx, UPS, or DHL. And you can't access your mail remotely. You have to pick up your mail in person.

A Postal virtual mailbox gives you a real street address (not a box number), accepts mail and packages from all major carriers, lets you register with the IRS and state agencies, and makes everything available online. Compared to a PO Box, a virtual mailbox is far more convenient.

Choosing a provider

What to look for in a virtual mailbox service

Postal is the first virtual mailbox built around AI-native mail handling. Other services simply scan and store your mail. When choosing a virtual mailbox, these are the things to consider.

Address quality

Is the address a real street address or a PO Box-style number? Can you use it for government registration and banking?

Mail handling

Does the service summarize mail, surface actions and allow you to search the contents of all your mail at once?

Compliance support

Can the service help you action compliance tasks, or will it leave you to find and solve them yourself?

Clear pricing

Look for transparent, all-in pricing with no surprise per-scan or forwarding fees. What extras can you expect?

How does a virtual mailbox work?

Virtual mailboxes are designed for remote-first and dispersed businesses that need a single location to receive their mail (and register with government agencies). A Postal virtual mailbox not only receives your mail, but scans and AI-analyses it for you, making your postal mail as easy to use as email and messaging. Your virtual mailbox comes with a unique premium address that is allocated solely to your business. It gives you a permanent virtual mailbox that you never need change again.

Choosing between virtual mailboxes

Today, there are a big range of virtual mailboxes to choose from. Postal is the first to rethink mail handling with AI-powered tools that automate mail management and take the effort out of meeting deadlines.

Is a virtual mailbox legal and secure?

Virtual mailboxes are legal and can be used for registering your business with government agencies and receiving post from USPS and other mail carriers. Some virtual mailboxes are more secure than others. Postal is built to HIPAA and SOC 2 security standards to ensure that your mail is handled privately and securely, inline with the rest of your data handling.
