Receive mail without your own German address

Newcomers waiting for an apartment, students between dorms, and long-term travelers all face the same problem: senders need a German address, and you don't have one. A German Mailbox address works immediately after signup — a real Berlin street address in your name, no rental contract or Anmeldung required.

Receive German mail while living abroad

Banks, the Finanzamt, insurers, and the pension fund keep writing to you after you leave. Give them your Berlin receiving address once, and every letter reaches you digitally — scanned, summarized, and auto-translated into English. No dependence on friends or family checking a mailbox.

How your mail reaches you

Letters arriving at your address are opened and scanned the day they arrive, then encrypted into your online mailbox with instant notification via email, WhatsApp, or Telegram. You read scans of your physical mail like email; originals can be stored, forwarded worldwide, or shredded per letter.

Parcels work too

The same address receives packages from DHL, Hermes, DPD, UPS, and GLS — held for pickup in Berlin or forwarded to any address worldwide.
