What happens to my mail if I cancel the service?

Policies vary. TDPB continues to process your mail until your subscription ends. After that, mail is no longer scanned or forwarded, but any incoming post is returned to sender for at least one month. With marketplace services like Anytime Mailbox, it depends on the individual location operator. Always check the cancellation and mail handling policy before signing up.

More frequently asked questions

A few common questions we often hear

  • Even if you choose to scan and destroy mail, we still require a forwarding address from you. This is because it is possible to receive a mail item that cannot be scanned, such as a bank card. You will always receive a scan of the envelope, but in the case of a non-scannable item, this mail item will be forwarded.

    You can update the forwarding address at any time and change it as often as necessary.

  • Absolutely. The address is suitable for most government, banking and legal correspondence.

  • Not necessarily. The DSA requires you to publish a contact address, not to actively receive mail there. Most digital traders receive little to no physical post. The value of the address is having a stable, verifiable point of contact for platform registrations, invoices, and compliance. If something does arrive, it is scanned and available in your online portal.

  • No. A virtual address is often a reference number or database entry with no physical location behind it. A Digital PO Box, as provided by The Digital PO Box, is a real street address at an actual staffed Partner location. Most banks and government agencies accept it because it is a genuine address, not a virtual one. Always verify the specific requirements of the institution you are dealing with.

  • The service is for regular mail, not for receiving or processing parcels. TDPB is a digital mail service focused on letters and documents.

    If a package is delivered to your address by mistake or unexpectedly, it’s up to you whether you accept it or not. Should you choose to accept it, you can either forward it to the customer or let them pick it up in person if they’re nearby.

  • Absolutely. It’s a professional Dubai mailing address, suitable for banking, invoicing, and personal or business use. Just note: it’s not for legal company registration.

  • No. Every new customer completes an identity verification before their Digital PO Box is activated. This helps us prevent misuse, impersonation, or fraudulent activity.

    Our verification process confirms that each Digital PO Box is linked to a real individual or business contact.
    We do this to protect our customers, our Partners, and the integrity of the TDPB network, because trust is the foundation of everything we do.

  • It depends on the specific location. Some Anytime Mailbox addresses are classified as commercial mail-handling points in address-verification databases, which can trigger flags or rejections during automated bank checks. Always verify with your specific bank before committing to any address service. For guidance on choosing a correspondence address, see how it works.

  • Yes. A correspondence address stays the same wherever you are, in Portugal or abroad; your post is scanned and uploaded to an online inbox you read from anywhere. To see how the scanning and inbox flow works, see how it works.
