What must be in the PDF?
The letter is printed as you upload it. Check three things:
- The recipient's address top left, in the envelope window area
- Your name and address as the sender
- No more than the pages included in the price; each extra page costs a small surcharge
What does the proof show?
Deutsche Post records the day the letter was put in the recipient's letterbox or PO box. With Einwurf the recipient does not sign. Your proof PDF also contains the printed letter.
Which letters do you have to sign yourself?
A signature in the PDF is printed as an image. To end a residential lease or a job, German law asks for an ink signature on the original. Print and sign those two letters yourself and hand them over against a signed receipt.
For a phone, gym or insurance contract, a payment reminder, a withdrawal or a tax objection, the printed letter is enough.

Frequently asked questions
Do I really need no printer?
No printer. You upload a PDF, also from a phone. We print it, put it in an envelope and hand it to Deutsche Post.
How do I make a PDF on my phone?
In any notes, documents or office app, use Share or Print and then Save as PDF. A photo of a letter can be saved as a PDF the same way.
Can I sign on my phone?
Yes, the signature is printed as an image. To end a flat or a job in Germany, though, you need an original signed in ink.
When does the letter leave?
Uploaded by 12:00 Central European time on a business day: printed and handed to Deutsche Post the same day. After that, the next business day.
My deadline is today. Is that enough?
Most deadlines count when the recipient receives the letter, not when it is posted. Delivery is usually the next business day. For a withdrawal, posting in time is enough.
Can I send it from abroad?
Yes. Upload the PDF from anywhere; printing and posting happen in Germany.
