  1. Select your preferred business address to receive mail. 
  2. We'll scan and upload copies of your mail as it arrives. 
  3. Access and manage your correspondence anytime, using any device. 

If you need the actual document or package, we can forward it to your location, too. To get started, simply select a LegalZoom virtual mail plan, and we'll help you stay on top of business mail ahead of the next holiday season.
