What is a Mail Forwarding Service?
A mail forwarding service receives mail at a designated address and sends it to another location on your behalf. These services are commonly used by LLC owners who need a reliable mailing address while living or operating in another state. Depending on the provider, mail can be physically forwarded, scanned and uploaded digitally, securely stored, or shredded.
In states like Delaware, mail forwarding services are especially popular among business owners seeking the benefits that come with forming an LLC here.
While this service is great for general mail, note that it is different from a Registered Agent service, though both services are available with Harvard Business Services, Inc.
Why Use Our Delaware Mail Forwarding Service?
Subscribing to one of our mail forwarding services grants your company authorization to use our Delaware agent address as your company's mailing location for document correspondence. Your mail will be addressed to your company name at our Lewes, DE location:
[Your Company Name]
16192 Coastal Highway
Lewes, DE 19958
Once the mail arrives for your company, we will sort out the junk mail and forward postal and courier mail as it is received. The mail forwarding service is for the company. Therefore, it is important to have any senders of mail correspondence list your company name as the addressee.

Additional Requirements
Harvard Business Services, Inc. is required to act as a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA), which is an agency officially authorized by the US Postal Service to receive mail on behalf of other businesses. When you choose Harvard for your mail forwarding service, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) now requires you to fill out the USPS Form 1583, which authorizes us to receive, open, scan, and forward your mail.

How our Mail Forwarding Service Works
Similar to most traditional mail forwarding services, our team will receive your mail at the designated mailing address (listed above) and then physically send it to your current location. After signing up, you can update your mailing address with the post office, banks, businesses, subscriptions, and other contacts so future mail is delivered here. When your mail arrives, our team collects and sorts it based on your preferences. Upon request, our team then packages your mail and forwards it to the address you specify.
At Harvard Business Services, Inc., our team utilizes scan forwarding as a digital-first approach to handling physical mail. When a piece of mail arrives at our facility, we scan the mail and upload the image to a secure online portal. Once you review it, you can then choose to have it shredded or physically forwarded to your actual location.

Mail Forwarding and Premium Mail Forwarding Frequently Asked Questions
You can use a Delaware mail forwarding address as your business mailing address for LLC formation, tax documents, and general correspondence. However, some banks, licensing agencies, and platforms may require a separate physical operating address. A mail forwarding address also does not replace the legal requirement for a registered agent in Delaware.
Having a form of contact address is a huge benefit if you don't have a U.S. address of your own. Our service is great for non-U.S. residents who want to start a U.S. business. It is also great if you run a business from home, you may not want to list your home address for business purposes.
Yes. A mail forwarding service and a registered agent serve different purposes. Delaware law requires every LLC or corporation to maintain a registered agent with a physical Delaware address to receive legal and state documents. Mail forwarding services primarily handle general business mail and correspondence rather than official legal notices or compliance documents.
Our plans are available to anyone with a Delaware company who appoints Harvard Business Services as their Registered Agent. You can add a mail forwarding service as soon as you form a new Delaware company or change your Registered Agent to Harvard if you have an existing company with another agent.
USPS Form 1583 is a required postal form that authorizes an agency to receive mail on your behalf. It is used when opening a mail forwarding or virtual mailbox account. To complete the form, you must provide identity verification documents and, in many cases, notarize the application before service can begin.
Our virtual mail forwarding plans are for digital scans of the mail we receive addressed to your company. We can forward the original, physical piece to your address upon request for an additional cost.
When listing the official physical address of your business, such as for the Registered Agent communications contact for a new company or for the IRS when applying for an EIN, you cannot use our address. Your actual, physical address where you are located is required.
Here are some additional examples of how you may and may not use our Delaware virtual address as a Mail Forwarding client:
Permitted Uses:
- Payment address for customer invoices
- Delivery address for general mail
- Delaware Registered Agent address
- Mailing/contact address on your website
- Mailing address on EIN application
- Mailing address on bank documentation
Prohibited Uses:
- Physical business location address
- Business address on EIN application
- Credit card/merchant processing
- Company address on Google Maps or other mapping services
- Utility service address
- Association of our address with a "Doing Business As" name or different company name than the one we have on file
This is not an exhaustive list of permitted and prohibited uses. In general, you may not use the address in any way that suggests you or your company is physically located at our address.
Additional detail is available in "Exhibit A" of our Mail Forwarding Agreement.
The Delaware mail forwarding address you will use – 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, DE 19958 – is our physical office location. This is our headquarters and our staff works from this location Monday through Friday.
