Most expat mail services just forward envelopes across the ocean — slow, pricey, and you still can't read German. This one works differently: your mail is received in Berlin, scanned and translated within 24 hours, and only the originals you actually need get shipped.
Forward-everything services leave you blind for one to three weeks per letter. Here you read a scan the day the letter arrives in Berlin — with an AI summary in English, detected deadlines highlighted, and the German original one click away.
Finanzamt assessments, health insurance letters, pension statements, Rundfunkbeitrag: the service recognizes German official mail, extracts what's being asked and by when, and translates it. You stop needing a German-speaking friend on standby.
Some documents must exist physically — notarized papers, cards, contracts. Forward any original to any address worldwide for €1.50 plus postage, from the dashboard. Everything else stays archived or gets shredded GDPR-compliantly on request.
The same Berlin address receives packages from all German carriers — held for pickup or forwarded internationally with customs forms prepared. €16/month, cancel monthly, set up in minutes from abroad.
Forwarding ships every envelope abroad unread. Scan-first means you read everything within 24 hours and only ship what's truly needed — faster and usually cheaper.
Yes, signup works from anywhere. Point a Deutsche Post Nachsendeauftrag at your new address or update senders directly.
Scans are stored encrypted and processed GDPR-compliantly in Germany; only you can access your mailbox.
€16/month including all scans; forwarding originals costs €1.50 per letter plus postage.
