What does the recipient get, and what do you get?

The recipient gets a letter posted in Germany: we print your PDF in Germany and hand it to Deutsche Post as Einschreiben Einwurf, so it travels as domestic German registered mail.

You get the tracking number, the dated record of the drop into the letterbox or PO box, and a proof PDF with your letter. The recipient does not sign.

Which German letters need your own signature?

Ending a residential lease or a job needs written form: an original with your handwritten signature (§ 568 and § 623 BGB). Print and sign those two letters yourself and hand over the original against a signed receipt, or by messenger.

Everything else on this page, from cancelling a gym to reminding a customer to pay, works with a printed letter.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly do you send?

Deutsche Post Einschreiben Einwurf. The letter goes into the letterbox or PO box, the drop is recorded with the date and you get a tracking number.

How fast is it?

Upload by 12:00 Central European time on a business day and the letter is posted that day. Deutsche Post usually delivers the next business day.

Can I cancel my German gym or phone contract this way?

Yes. Contract terms may not ask for more than text form, so a printed letter is valid, and the Einschreiben proves it arrived.

Can I end my German apartment lease with it?

That needs an original with your handwritten signature. Print the notice, sign it in ink and hand it to the landlord against a signed receipt.

Can I end my German employment contract?

Only with a hand-signed original: § 623 BGB requires written form and excludes electronic form. Hand it over against a signed receipt.

Can I send an Einschreiben from abroad without a printer?

Yes. The PDF can come from a phone. We print in Germany and hand the letter to Deutsche Post.

Send without a printer

What deadline applies to a German tax assessment sent abroad?

It counts as notified one month after posting, unless it arrives later. You then have one month to object.

Object to a tax assessment

Can a company send these letters from abroad?

Yes. Each letter is one PDF, one address and one proof. Ask for a custom volume price through the business form, always paid in advance. Each letter has its own VAT invoice.
