A virtual mailbox is a service that provides you with a real street address in Canada or the United States where your mail and packages are received. You can view, scan, forward, or shred your mail online from anywhere in the world through your secure dashboard.

Choose a location in Canada or the US, select a plan, complete identity verification (requirements vary by country), and you're ready to start receiving mail. The entire process takes just a few minutes, though identity verification may take up to 5 business days.

In Canada, you need two forms of ID (government photo ID plus proof of address) and a Canada Post authorization form. In the US, you need a notarized PS Form 1583 (Remote Online Notarization accepted) plus two forms of ID (government photo ID plus proof of address). All proof of address documents must be dated within 90 days.

C-Band Mailbox operates under dual-country compliance. Canadian mailboxes are governed by Schedule A of our Terms & Conditions, covering PIPEDA privacy rights, Canada Post regulations, and Canadian dispute resolution. US mailboxes follow Schedule B, covering USPS CMRA regulations, CCPA/CPRA privacy rights, and ICDR arbitration.

In Canada, you have rights under PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25, including the right to access, correct, and delete your personal information. In the US, California residents have additional rights under CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale of personal information. Visit your dashboard Privacy Settings for full details.

Contact our support team first. If we cannot resolve the issue, the dispute resolution process depends on your country. In Canada, disputes are handled through ADR Institute of Canada arbitration or provincial small claims court. In the US, disputes go through ICDR arbitration (with a 30-day opt-out right for new users) or small claims court.
