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.

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:
