How long does account set up take?

You’re minutes away from smarter, simpler mail. Here’s how to get started:

Sign Up for a US Global Mail Mailbox

Getting started is quick and only takes a few minutes.

Step 1: Create Your Account

You can begin the signup process from either our Addresses page or the Plans page.

First, create your account by entering:

  • Your full name

  • Email address

We'll send a one-time password (OTP) to your email to verify your account. Once verified, you'll be asked to add your phone number to continue.

Step 2: Tell Us About Yourself (Optional)

You'll see a question about what best describes your role or how you plan to use your mailbox. This step is optional and can be skipped if you'd like.

Step 3: Choose Your Address

Next, select the mailbox address that's right for you.

We recommend choosing one of our company-managed addresses, identified with the "Best Choice" badge in orange.

These locations are fully managed by US Global Mail and offer:

  • Enterprise-grade security and encryption

  • Comprehensive audit trails

  • Enhanced regulatory compliance

  • The most seamless mailbox experience

If you'd prefer a location closer to you, simply search by your city or state and choose from our network of addresses across 30+ states.

Step 4: Pick Your Plan

Choose the membership plan that best fits your needs.

Every plan includes:

  • Unlimited mail receipt

  • Free check deposits

  • Included interior mail scans (based on your plan's monthly allowance)

  • Award-winning customer support

You can also use the Monthly/Annual toggle to select your preferred billing cycle before continuing.

Step 5: Complete Your Payment

Enter your billing information and complete checkout securely.

Once your payment is successful, your mailbox will be created and you'll be ready to begin the activation process.
