What Is a Virtual Mailbox and How Can I Use It to Receive Inmate Letters?

How does the Virtual Mailbox service work? When you activate the service while sending a letter, we provide the inmate with a specialized U.S. return address. Your loved one mails their handwritten reply to this secure U.S. processing center, making it a faster and cheaper domestic flight for them. Once it arrives, our team securely opens and scans the pages, uploading high-quality images directly to your dashboard with an instant SMS or email notification.

Who is this digital mail service designed for? A Virtual Mailbox is the perfect solution for families living abroad who want to avoid expensive international stamps and weeks of waiting. It is also designed for frequent travelers, privacy seekers who do not want to share their home address with the facility, and individuals whose work schedules prevent them from being home to receive physical mail.

What are the key advantages of going digital? The primary advantage is speed, allowing you to receive letters in days rather than weeks. Additionally, it offers security by storing your letters in a secure 256-bit encrypted cloud for up to 5 years, protecting memories from damage or loss. You can also easily download and share the digital images with other family members.

What are the steps to get started? Setting up your account is simple. While composing your letter on Sendinmatemail, toggle the "Virtual Mailbox" option in the extra services section. We will automatically include a specialized instruction note inside the envelope, explaining to the inmate exactly how and where to mail their reply..
