I want to start a Small Business from home. Can I use this Virtual-Address for getting needed Documents like: A. Business License B. EIN Number C. Business Checking Account
Question for business I have a virtual address and it’s suite 100 pmb 2817 . You candy get a business loan with a pmb so how would I write this out to get funded in the future??
Good explanation of how virtual addresses work, but you missed the best overall service, which is PhysicalAddress. It is the largest US-based service that does not use third-party mail centers or PO boxes as their addresses. They actually manage and operate every one of their physical addresses. This is more costly and complicated for them, but it gives customers the confidence that they won't lose their virtual address when a third-party business that is providing the address goes out of business, loses their lease, changes their virtual provider, etc. Ask any of the companies you recommended if they have lost addresses in the past; you'll find it happens often. Imagine if you are a customer and have hundreds of clients with your address, and suddenly it's gone. They also provide all of the bells and whistles you mentioned, local pick-up, direct deposit, and they don't up-charge their forwarding rates - you pay the same as if you were to go directly to the shipper. It probably would be important to inform your viewers that if you sign up with one of the companies you mentioned, they are likely signing up with two companies that are providing the address, and they should review both the virtual company and the physical mailing address company.
Thanks for sharing this helpful video. Are you able to help with a few questions? 1-a) If I'd like to employ one of these services, and be able to send them a package in hopes they could stamp it with my virtual address and mail it on my behalf, which of these (or another) would be best? *It's not something I'd need to do often, however think work pc. My current employer requires us to use their hardware. Occasionally, they need to physically have it. 1-b) If I were mailing it via say DHL from Latin America to a V.M service, which one could be counted on to not only help expedite it, but to also show the address which I'm listing with my employer?
Thanks for the video I really appreciate your help. I moved to Mexico and I really don't get a lot of mail. My previous state was Arizona which has a state income tax. I was told to get a virtual mailbox for Texas because they don't have state income taxes. Which service would be the best as far as cheapest cost that's my only concern is a cheapest annual fee?
I really like Traveling Mailbox and PostScan Mail, both of which have addresses in Texas. As a quick disclaimer, simply using a virtual address does not move your residence in the government's eyes. So unless you apply for and obtain a driver's license in Texas, I don't think you're going to get out of Arizona state tax.
all of these addresses listed in the US from all of these companies are shown as a digital address if you google them. So if you don't want people to see you have a digital address. These are not the companies to use.
if this address is done int the US does the DMV recognize the utility bills, credit cards bills from this virtual address? anyone knows?? Im interested to make and DL/ID in a different state but dont have an physical address yet
Depends on what kind of mail you’re referring to. You don’t have to have them open and scan it. If you know what it is, just have it forwarded directly to you without being opened.
@Satnav The USPS is *very* strict when it comes to the privacy of the US Mail. Any Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) has to prove to them that they are in compliance with all security protocols on a regular basis. The USPS Form 1583 gives the CMRA the right to (basically) act as if they were the USPS with respect to your mail and enables you to grant them permission to open and scan your mail, which is then shredded and disposed of securely also. The opening, scanning, and shredding of mail is done on your request, and is entirely optional. Most people using a CMRA will only have them forward whatever mail you receive to you. I have used Traveling Mailbox and EarthClassMail for years now and their service has been impeccable.
I am considering swathing to something with a central mailing center like traveling mailbox, after getting a notice after form the county parole officer saying I was a victim of mail fraud. Frist I'm hearing of it of course. I would urge anyone to seriously ask yourself how often you will be picking up in person, and could you instead wait for it to be re-shipped and the weigh the convince of local pickup wit the security of a facility designed for virtual mail instead of just any random mom and pop mailbox shop.
Question, if you are living abroad but need to maintain a USA based address and you choose one of these services how does that impact your taxes? Do I put that virtual address as my residence on any tax forms?
Also, I believe you mentioned Traveling Mailbox could print and mail something on behalf of a client. Does iPostal offer this also? I like the address selections of iPostal more so than Traveling Mailbox. *I tried to visit the website you listed to browse and determine which service might best suit one's needs, however it took me to a password protected site. Do you know if this still exists, or do I need to create some sort of account 1st? Thanks for your help
Hi Josh, are you or anyone in the channel community aware of any challenges with using a virtual address for a corporate employer? I work remotely, and have been asked in the past to fill in my address as part of an agreement. If I leave my present location, and shift exclusively to virtual, do you or anyone here see any challenges? Thanks for your suggestions
@@AllThingsSecured Thanks. Do you have a politically correct "go to statement" suggestion on how to answer when asked? "I looked up your address on file, and it says it's a Mail box etc... Where do you actually live and work from?"
I'm pretty sure I know what you are going to say. But, I'm going to ask it anyway. Can I use this virtual address on my driver's license (dl)? I converted a box truck into a tiny home and need an address I do not think I use use a po box un my dl. Thank you for posting. Very useful.
I’m interested in sending spicy mail, but plan to use a fake name to be anonymous. I thought about getting a virtual mail address for the return address on a package? But can the recipient of the package search for the return address and find my real name associated with it?
Do I still need to go through the pass required mail verification process if I'm only interested in using the service for the address when I SEND OUT packages?
One reason I want to get a virtual mailbox is for “trash” accounts… Services that require an address on file but I know I never want to receive mail from them and don’t want to give them that information. Ideally, I would want to use an alias for these as well… But I obviously can’t notarize with an alias. Do you have advice for this? I see most of these services allow multiple names to receive mail, but again, I run into the notarizing issue. I of course want to do this legally, but I am tired of so many services requiring such personal information for absolutely no reason, other than data collection.
In Post scan mail. We have notarization option when we make login for 20$. How it works in ipostal1? Do we have to take 3rd party service? Or we will have option tp notarize within ipostal1 login?
Hello. I am a new subscriber in the market for a virtual mailbox. I need to get a US postal order without going to the us as I am currently in the uk. Loved your review on virtual mailboxes. Not sure yet which one to choose. What are your thoughts on this conundrum. Banks don't do us money orders nor certified check in the uk. Haven't checked into bank accounts as when I left the us, left lots to attrition. Big mistake!!!!
Thanks for the video but I am not clear on if mail sent to my existing mailing address gets forwarded to a virtual mailbox service once I submit USPS for 1583 or do I need to change ma mailing address for my bank, credit cards, etc to the address that I get with a virtual mailbox service. Thanks.
Ok I never would have thought of this idea so thanks. Sounds like a lot of leg work to initially get set up but as you say it's worth it in the end. I would love to get rid of all the junk mail and political flyers that I receive. When you set it up I'm guessing it's per person not the household address is that correct? Thanks again for another rabbit hole of personal security I'm going to look into!
Glad you found it useful, Bret! Each service is different, but Traveling Mailbox (the one I use) allows you to have 3 recipients on one address for the basic plan, or 5 recipients on one address for the Extended plan. I believe that each recipient must fill out a USPS Form 1583 if you're in the US.
I'd love a service like this without a monthly fee that I could only pay if I want a letter scanned, since I only need to receive mail once every blue moon and I'd just like to have an address in USA for banking etc.
@@AllThingsSecured Thanks! 🤗 I use one in Canada (I only pay per scan or forward, plus I paid a fee to register and they're very nice, not mentioning them because I am not advertising LOL) but I'd like to have one in USA. For people who might only receive an important letter a couple of times a year it's not to appealing to have to pay for the address (it's fair, of course, but my personal need isn't strong enough). There's a couple of American Package forwarding services that give you an address for free (I have accounts with two) but they don't handle letters.
Do you know if there's any option for only using your business name on your virtual address instead of your personal name? I'd like to conceal both my home address and full legal name but not sure that's an option?
Thank you, I am brand new to all virtual technology. Please, help me to understand it. I still don't understand how it works. Do the virtual mail company forward my mails and packages to my real address, or they open the mail and scan it. If is that, what about packages?
They can receive and forward your mail to your address, receive and hold it for pick up, or receive and scan (envelope only) or open it and scan. It depends on the service provider. Some virtual addresses don’t receive packages, while others receive packages from only select couriers, and others receive all types of packages. They can hold for you to pick up or forward it with ur other letters in one shipment.
Hello, I have a virtual office with I Postal 1. Now I'm trying to get my Google Verification and it's asking me for a video in front of the virtual address location. Any advice on how I can move forward? I wasn't sent a verification code in the mail. Thank you!
Does this work as a google verification address for a business? Say if I want to start taking calls in florida before I actually find my new shop location there....would it work for that? It's hard to move shops without having a physical address in the new state already
Are you allowed to recieve mail with multiple names in your virtual office (For example a home address being able to allow owner, tenant, sub-tenant to all recieve mail at same address?)
Each service is different (and in some cases, each plan). My plan with Traveling Mailbox gives me I think 2 or three names that I can receive mail from.
What do you think about Anytime Mailbox. Also, if you are living abroad, did you set up your virtual mailbox while still in the US or did you do it abroad. I actually tried once living abroad but wasn't able to get the notary service because of bad internet connection even though my internet speeds are quite adequate. It was frustrating :/ BTW ... great channel. I took up the great advice about double-blinded passwords!
@rpark2 I tried out Anytime Mailbox for the "business address" of one of my companies. It's an okay service but I probably will not be using them again in the future. I would suggest using Traveling Mailbox instead.
@@AllThingsSecured Along the same lines... I live outside the US and have an address for my drivers license in the US, is that the one I would use for my IRS and bank address? Or would I switch those to my virtual mailbox?
You did not explain why this is helpful and where you can and cannot use this address. For example, can you use it with a credit card? With your employer? State government? The benefits are not clear enough. Will I get less junk mail at home? But, what does it matter if I get it elsewhere?
I’m about to register my business if I use travel mailbox and they offer a address that’s not in my registered state is that ok? For example I live in Maryland if I incorporate the business here in Maryland but use the NC virtual address will be ok?
A private company with a reputation to uphold is opening your mail, and only after you sign USPS Form 1583 that gives them that right. So no, it’s not a federal offense.
@@AllThingsSecured thanks for info on the form 1583. Still wouldn’t trust strangers with my mail personally. I get my mail at P.O. Box and not my house anyways and well if someone wants to come to my home and mess with me I’d suggest they seriously think twice about it. A country boy can survive :) Did you get a chance to checkout the Lockdown IOS app and their VPN service?
@@AllThingsSecured Im leaning towards ipostal1 & traveling mailbox but as im reading through comments before deciding what a better option for me. Im also skeptical about someone opening my mail before me. Would it be an option to "not" sign usps form while still using the service and while also having it forward to you be email and/or mailed and/or choose to physically pick-up?
hello!so a month ago I used a VPN called "Hola VPN"(free) I have been using it till yesterday, I found out that it's dangerous. after I heard that I took it off from the chrome and uninstalled it. I still don't know if they have my IP address. do you think that I am safe by taking it off from chrome and uninstalling it?
Hi, great info. I currently have Postscan Mail with a Fort Lauderdale address for business and even though it isn't the most secure location, it has worked so far. Saw your video with their hub in Annaheim and would love to find a hub like such, in FL. Are you aware of any company that has a hub here? Most seem to be forwarding locations thanks. Or how about a video with all the main hubs? :)
Faxes ? how old is this video ? the last time I have ever known anyone to send or receive a fax was about 25 years ago, nobody uses faxes in the 21st century.

I’m about to register my business if I use travel mailbox and they offer a address that’s not in my registered state is that ok? For example I live in Maryland if I incorporate the business here in Maryland but use the NC virtual address will be ok?
Your registered address needs to be in the same state where you are registering the business.
@@AllThingsSecured thanks. I guess I’ll try to find another service. Travel mailbox doesn’t have any addresses in Maryland
which one keeps your identity anonymous the most?
excellent video bro thankyou
does a virtual business address have to be near your home address?
Please put a ways to protect android devices for privacy purposes of course. Thank you!!
Thanks for the tip!
How secure are these companies? I'm asking because they do have access to your mail.
Great question, Mark! I'm currently producing a video on that exact question that should publish in late February. Stay tuned!
Amazing channel 💖
Thanks!
hi didnt you have to change your business address w the State and IRS?
Yes, I did.
@@AllThingsSecured so can i use the address from one of these with the irs and state
Thanks Josh 😊
My pleasure, Jasvinder!
So strangers are opening all your mail and scanning it. This seems like a bad idea. And isn’t it a federal offense to open other people’s mail.
A private company with a reputation to uphold is opening your mail, and only after you sign USPS Form 1583 that gives them that right. So no, it’s not a federal offense.
@@AllThingsSecured thanks for info on the form 1583. Still wouldn’t trust strangers with my mail personally. I get my mail at P.O. Box and not my house anyways and well if someone wants to come to my home and mess with me I’d suggest they seriously think twice about it. A country boy can survive :)
Did you get a chance to checkout the Lockdown IOS app and their VPN service?
Not yet.
@@AllThingsSecured Im leaning towards ipostal1 & traveling mailbox but as im reading through comments before deciding what a better option for me. Im also skeptical about someone opening my mail before me. Would it be an option to "not" sign usps form while still using the service and while also having it forward to you be email and/or mailed and/or choose to physically pick-up?
how does one use things like amazon or other delivery services. or are they just a no go?
You can have the virtual address forward your packages. It works, but that a bit costly and not efficient.
@@AllThingsSecured i know this is unrelated but have you considered doing a psa on zombie cookies/supercookies. maybe like a quick youtube short.
Just send the Amazon order as if you were sending a gift to someone. I use a variation of my name to my physical address.
hello!so a month ago I used a VPN called "Hola VPN"(free) I have been using it till yesterday, I found out that it's dangerous. after I heard that I took it off from the chrome and uninstalled it. I still don't know if they have my IP address. do you think that I am safe by taking it off from chrome and uninstalling it?
Better to have uninstalled it than to have kept it.
NO VM EVER WORKS ON MY WINDOWS 10. I AM ALSO BANNED FROM FREE ONLINE VMS. I AM SAD :(
Hi, great info. I currently have Postscan Mail with a Fort Lauderdale address for business and even though it isn't the most secure location, it has worked so far. Saw your video with their hub in Annaheim and would love to find a hub like such, in FL. Are you aware of any company that has a hub here? Most seem to be forwarding locations thanks. Or how about a video with all the main hubs? :)
how is it better than just ordering it to a nearby post office?
Having a dedicated address is different than a PO Box or simply sending to the post office.
Anyone that doesn’t respond to questions isn’t worthy of watching
Thank you!!!!
I wouldn't even share your address with the necessary government agencies
Faxes ? how old is this video ? the last time I have ever known anyone to send or receive a fax was about 25 years ago, nobody uses faxes in the 21st century.
Thank you
My pleasure.
What would you consider as the necessary government agencies vs the unnecessary government agencies?
You rock!!! Thank you.
What about Australia mate?
I've looked and haven't found a company that has an Australia address! If you find or know of something, please share it with me. Thanks, Cameron!
Man great video you ARE MY HERO!!!! 😊😊😊😎😎😎
Virtual address finder website doesn't exist.
It’s now defunct, unfortunately.
Never do fowarding as you will get junk and unwanted mail
Josh Xinjiang 😁
That’s me 👍🏻
nice
What if you are asked to provide the company's piped gas, natural gas, electricity, piped water, and fixed-line phone?
There are some virtual address companies that can do that. For example, VirtualPostMail has TruLease that does this.
@@AllThingsSecured Very helpful, thank you for your reply
