Mail Scanning Service - View Your Mail Online in HD

Get high-resolution scans of your mail delivered to your virtual mailbox dashboard. Open, scan, and read your letters online from anywhere. Same-day scanning available.

What Is Mail Scanning?

Mail scanning is a service that opens your postal mail - only when you ask - and converts it into high-resolution digital documents you can read online. It turns physical letters into searchable PDFs, so important paperwork reaches you within hours instead of days, wherever you are in the world. When mail arrives at your C-Band Mailbox address, you first see a photo of the unopened envelope in your dashboard. Request a scan and trained staff open the item, scan every page at high resolution, and upload it to your secure account. The physical document can then be stored, forwarded, shredded, or recycled - you decide.
