Mail Forwarding from Germany

Mail forwarding is a service that allows you to have your personal or business mail redirected to your new address when you move. It is a convenient service that helps you settle into your new home.
There is always lots to do and think about when you’re moving house. You can forward your mail to any other address in the world. For instance, it doesn’t matter if you move within Germany or go to another country, such as the United States.

There are many things to consider when moving. Sometimes it’s hard to think of every person, insurance, or club you’ll need to give your new address. And it’s time-consuming. Did you remember to call that aunt who sends you a Christmas card every year? Or the car club that sends you a free magazine every summer?
Once you move out of your old home and maybe even leave Germany, you won’t be able to receive mail anymore, and any letters will be returned to the sender. To prevent this, you can book our mail forwarding service.Having a reliable mail forwarding service is vital to have mail forwarded to your new address.
Bank statements, utility bills, and maybe your aunt’s Christmas card – make sure not to miss anything.

Please bear in mind that parcels and packages will not automatically be redirected. You can book this as an additional service if you need it.

Items will not be forwarded if the name or address differs from the data provided in the forwarding order or if they are addressed to individuals not listed in the order.
