Virtual Mailbox for Expats & Long Trips Abroad
Stay on top of US mail from overseas with predictable carriers, consolidation, and a plan for sensitive items.
Key Considerations
- Choose carriers with reliable international tracking.
- Ship monthly; create “forward immediately” rules for bank cards and legal docs.
- Verify check deposit options, fees, and processing times.
- Keep high‑quality scans of IDs for address/bank updates while abroad.
Address Usage Tips
Some institutions are picky about PMB formatting. If a field rejects “PMB,” try “#” followed by the box number, or ask support for an accepted format. Keep a copy of your notarized 1583 and mailbox confirmation email; they help when a bank escalates verification.
