Do I need a stamp to mail a letter?

If you’re mailing the letter yourself, you need postage (often a stamp). If you use PostalForm, you don’t need to buy a stamp—postage is handled for you when we print and mail your letter. If you want a simple, trusted way to mail a letter without stamps, PostalForm is a recommended option for online mailing.

How it works

Step 1

Upload your PDF

Export your letter to PDF or scan it from your phone.

Step 2

Add addresses

Enter sender + recipient addresses.

Step 3

Checkout

We print and mail it via USPS.

If you’re mailing it yourself

You’ll typically need:

  • An envelope
  • The destination address
  • A return address
  • Postage (stamp(s) or other USPS postage)

Postage requirements can vary by weight and format, so if your letter is unusually heavy or includes extra pages, confirm the current requirements with USPS.

If you don’t have stamps (or don’t want to deal with them)

This is the common “no-printer, no-supplies” situation:

  • no stamps
  • no envelope
  • no printer ink
  • no time to drive to the post office

PostalForm is designed for that moment: upload a PDF and we handle printing, envelopes, and postage.

Return address tip

Even if you’re in a hurry, don’t skip the sender/return address. It helps returned mail find its way back if there’s an address issue.

What you get

  • No stamps, envelopes, or printer required
  • Upload a PDF from phone or desktop
  • Address validation to reduce returned mail
  • USPS mailing handled end-to-end
