Option 1: Mail the letter online
- Finish the letter and printable attachments as one PDF.
- Upload the PDF using the file selector on this page.
- Continue to PostalForm with Germany preselected for the recipient address. Your sender-address suggestion remains separate, so enter the real return address in Spain.
- Review the rendered pages, address, eligible mailing services, estimated delivery window, and exact price.
- Pay only after everything is correct. PostalForm then prints, envelopes, and posts the letter.
Option 2: Send it through Correos
Prepare a clearly addressed, rectangular document envelope and choose Correos ordinary international mail for a basic letter or registered international mail when you need a mailing record and stronger delivery evidence. Apply the current postage for the weight and destination and use the Correos channel specified for the selected product.
How to address a letter to Germany
Enter the recipient name, street and house number, five-digit postcode, and locality. Upload one final PDF with all pages in order. Checkout checks file size, page count, print dimensions, and both addresses before payment.
Documents, goods, and customs
Both Spain and Germany are in the EU customs territory, so a document-only letter normally does not need a customs declaration. Special territories and any contents other than correspondence can follow different rules.
Correos's ordinary and registered international letter products are for documents. Use an eligible goods or parcel service—and its current electronic-data and customs process—when the contents are merchandise rather than correspondence.
Delivery, proof, and pricing
For a self-mailed letter, Correos registered international mail is the proof-oriented paper-letter option. Check its current tracking and signature coverage for the destination rather than assuming every foreign postal operator returns the same events.
PostalForm currently offers standard and expedited options for eligible letters to Germany. Checkout is authoritative for the actual PDF and addresses and shows the eligible service, estimated delivery window, and exact price before payment.
Before you send
- Use a final PDF or a sealed paper letter with every page in the correct order.
- Confirm the recipient name, postcode or PIN code, locality, and country.
- Keep goods, cash, hazardous materials, and anything needing a customs declaration out of a document-only letter.
- Use the carrier's current calculator for a self-mailed letter, or PostalForm's checkout for an online order; rates and eligibility can change.
- Choose a proof service only when its delivery record matches what you actually need.

FAQs
- Can I mail a letter from Spain to Germany without a printer?
- Yes. Upload the finished PDF on this page. PostalForm keeps it attached when you continue, presets Germany for the recipient address, and shows the eligible service and exact price before payment.
- Will PostalForm physically post the letter in Spain?
- Not necessarily. Your return address can be in Spain, but PostalForm may print and mail the letter from a different location. If a postmark from Spain is required, send the letter directly through Correos.
- Do I need a customs form for this letter?
- Both Spain and Germany are in the EU customs territory, so a document-only letter normally does not need a customs declaration. Special territories and any contents other than correspondence can follow different rules. Correos's ordinary and registered international letter products are for documents. Use an eligible goods or parcel service—and its current electronic-data and customs process—when the contents are merchandise rather than correspondence.
- Can I get tracking or proof of delivery?
- Correos registered international mail is the proof-oriented paper-letter option. Check its current tracking and signature coverage for the destination rather than assuming every foreign postal operator returns the same events. PostalForm currently offers standard and expedited options for eligible letters to Germany; checkout confirms the choices for the actual order.
- Does the recipient country stay selected after I upload?
- Yes. The article upload handoff presets Germany in the recipient-address country filter. It does not preset the sender country, so the sender field can keep using the normal location suggestion until you choose or enter your actual return address.
