Mail Scanning Services

Postal Mail Scanning Services are the bread and butter here at Traveling Mailbox. Included with every subscription, you have the ability to request your mail to be scanned. We will scan it in full color so you can view it in PDF Format from anywhere in the world.

  • All envelopes are barcoded

    Every mail item that arrives at our facility is hand sorted and then applied with a unique barcode that identifies that particular envelope. This barcode is scanned each time an action is performed on the envelope.

  • Envelope Scanning

    After your envelopes have received their unique barcode, we then scan the outside of each envelope so you can see what you have received. We never open an envelope without your express consent.

  • Secure Virtual Mailbox

    Upon subscribing, customers can view their postal mail online via their secure online portal. All requests are done via this portal which is available via Desktop, Laptop, Mobile Website, iOS App and Android App.
