Getting Started Is Easy

From sign-up to your first mail scan, the entire process takes less than 24 hours. Here's how to get your virtual mailbox set up.

1

Choose Your Plan & Location

Browse our affordable plans and pick a location that suits your needs. Whether you need a business address in Ontario, a mailing address in British Columbia, or a virtual address in Manitoba - we have you covered across Canada.

2

Create Your Account

Sign up online in under 5 minutes. Provide your name, email, and choose a secure password. No credit card required until you've selected your plan and verified your identity.

3

Verify Your Identity

Complete our secure identity verification process online. Upload a government-issued photo ID (driver's licence, passport, or provincial ID) and a proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement dated within 90 days). This step is required by Canadian postal regulations and ensures the security of your mailbox.

4

Get Your New Address

Once verified, your real Canadian street address is activated immediately. Start using it for business registration, official correspondence, online shopping, or any professional purpose. Your address works with all carriers and government agencies.

5

Start Receiving Mail

As mail and packages arrive, our operators photograph each item and upload it to your secure dashboard. You'll receive instant notifications via email or mobile. From your dashboard, request a full scan to PDF, forward to any address worldwide, hold for pickup, or securely shred - all with a single click.

What Happens After Mail Arrives

Once your mailbox is active, here's how we handle every piece of mail with care and security.

Mail Arrives at Your Address

Choose Your Action

For each item, you decide what happens next. Request a high-resolution scan to PDF for instant digital access. Forward the original to any address in Canada or internationally. Hold it for in-person pickup. Or securely shred junk mail and outdated documents.
