A virtual mailbox is a service that receives physical mail on behalf of the addressee and usually scans the outside of the mail.cite-ref-1[1] Some providers also scan the inside contents of the mail as well. These scans may be photos, PDFs, or text-searchable PDFs. Reasons for using virtual mailboxes may include accepting mail from couriers, accessing mail while traveling, and keeping a home address private.
