# Study abroad mailing guides

Advice and step-by-step guides for mailing documents to the U.S. while abroad. Use PostalForm to send a PDF to any U.S. address without visiting a post office overseas.

## When these guides help
- You need to mail a signed form back home
- A program requires mailed documents with a U.S. postmark
- You want USPS delivery without international shipping delays
- You are outside the U.S. but the recipient still expects a domestic USPS mailing

## How it works with PostalForm
1. **Sign and scan your document**
2. **Upload the PDF and enter addresses**
3. **Checkout** and we print + mail it via USPS

## The fastest path if your PDF is ready
If you already have the document as a PDF, you do not need an international courier just to get a U.S. postmark. Upload the PDF, enter your return address and the U.S. recipient, choose the mailing speed, and review the order before checkout.

This is useful for university offices, housing offices, banks, government forms, family paperwork, and any process that still expects mailed documents even though you are studying abroad.
