Do I have to be a Florida resident to use MyRVmail? No. Residency in Florida is an option that can be established at a later time. A majority of travelers use our physical address as a mailing address only. This arrangement works well if you wish to maintain your home state residency and need mail forwarding services while you travel. Return to Top Will I have a physical address in Florida? Yes. The physical address we provide you can be used as a temporary mailing address or as your permanent home base. Also, most commercial carriers such as FedEx, DHL, and UPS will only deliver to a physical address like our own. (Note: If you have a business and want your new address to look more attractive, you can also use "suite", "unit" or the number sign/"hashtag" as the prefix for your box number.) Example of New Address: Name/Spouse/Business 5753 Hwy 85 North #0000 Crestview, FL 32536 Return to Top Will I be able to use my new address to establish residency in Florida? Yes. We provide each member with a physical address in Florida which can be used to obtain a driver's license, vehicle registration, RV/Auto insurance bank accounts, etc. Establishing residency will take time and special planning. When that time arrives a physical presence in Crestview, Florida will be required. Residency is also optional, some members prefer to use our physical address only as a mailing address for mail forwarding purposes. Return to Top Can I use my physical address for voter registration?

Processing of mail is done the day it arrives at our facility, usually early afternoon. Once we sort out all of the obvious junk mail, we then start imaging all mail for your viewing convenience.

You can request a shipment on your online account or by calling one of our friendly representatives. Return to Top How is my junk mail handled once you trash it? Rest assured, your mail and personal information are never floating around in dumpsters or the garbage by the curb. We have a local shredding company that comes twice a week to shred unwanted mail on site. In the meantime, mail that is queued for shredding is placed in a large locked container. All shredded paper materials are recycled into new paper products at the end of the year. Return to Top How do you protect my personal information contained in mail that is opened and scanned? All scans uploaded to our servers are encrypted both in transit and in storage. Only one, well-vetted employee is assigned to perform and access scanned documents. After a mail item is scanned, it is sealed back in its original envelope and returned to your box. Return to Top How does your mail service work?

Simply fill out a USPS permanent forwarding with the local post office or at www.usps.com, then slowly start contacting friends, family and companies directly with your new permanent address. Part time travelers will need to submit a USPS temporary forwarding with an arrival date back at home. Return to Top Why won't the Post Office accept my address with MyRVmail? If you attempt to submit a change of address request with the Post Office online, and you receive an error message, it may be because of their formatting requirements. The Post Office website will only recognize the MyRVmail address with your Personal Mailbox number if you enter it in exactly the following format, replacing "0000" with your own box number: 5753 Hwy 85 N PMB 0000 Crestview, FL 32536 Note especially that a space is required both before and after the letters "PMB."
