Sign up takes 5 minutes, and you can start receiving mail as soon as you get your new address confirmation email.

If you are moving, we recommend you sign up about two weeks prior to your move date so that you have one less thing to worry about during the move.

That’s because if you wish to do a Change of Address with USPS and have your mail to your existing US address forwarded, you need to allow USPS two weeks to get that going for you.

As soon as you pay for our services, we’ll assign you a unique mailbox number. You can then take your address with us to USPS right away to file the Change of Address request.

What if I haven’t got a new address abroad?

You actually don’t need that address until you are ready to ship mail or packages to that address. Your address abroad would be a forwarding address and you can always add that when you place a shipment request to have your items shipped.

Also, you can always add, change, update multiple shipping addresses in your account from the ‘My Saved Addresses’ section of your account. 

We are happy to walk you through the entire process of signing up with vDaak.

Once the credit card is active on your account, you will then need to upload two forms of ID for each name on the account. 

Please read the following guide on how to add a name and what IDs are required. This link will open in a new tab.

8. We will approve each name and set of IDs on the account

The names and IDs will be sent to an approval queue and we will approve them. Once approved, you will receive a notification email stating this.

9. Your account is now activated for non-USPS mail

If you have not opted for a future start, your account is now active and will be charged the amount of your chosen plan from step 1. You can begin to receive mail from non-USPS shipping carriers (such as FedEx, DHL and UPS). 

If you have opted for a future start date, your account won’t be charged until that start date arrives. 

Please skip to step 11.

10. If you want to receive USPS delivered mail, complete and have the pre-filled 1583 form notarized

To receive mail delivered by USPS, the USPS require you to provide a notarized 1583 form. Each individual over 18 requires one form per person. For married couples, you can both be in the same form. For minors (those under 18 years old), they can be on the same form as their parents.

To make it easier for you, we have created a pre-filled form that you can download directly from your account.

To have it notarized, you can use your own or choose to use our notary via Skype for a fee of $10 per form.

For more information about how to complete the 1583 form, please see the following guide. 

Once the notarization is complete, you will need to upload the form into your account. 

Please note: our system is currently only able to receive one 1583 form. If you have multiple 1583 forms for the different names on your account, please attach the additional forms to an email to us at support@usglobalmail.com and we will upload it to your account for you. 

11. Your account is now complete!

That’s it! If all documentation is added and your credit card has been verified, you are all set to begin using vDaak! 

If you have mail in your Inbox, you now have a few ways to proceed:

• Create a scan request to see the contents of a letter. See this Letter Scanning guide for more information.
