We scan your letter contents and optionally store the originals securely and in compliance with data protection regulations.
Every working day, your mail will be delivered to your online mailbox in our shop or sent to your WEB.DE or GMX e-mail account.
Your scanned letters will be destroyed in compliance with data protection regulations or optionally stored (1, 3 or 6 months) and then delivered to your desired address.
Good to know: With POSTSCAN, only the content of the letters is scanned. Subsequently, the letter content and the envelopes are destroyed in compliance with data protection regulations (according to ISO 21964, protection class 3, security level 4) - if no delivery & storage duration has been booked. The paper is fully sent for recycling. This helps us collectively close resource cycles and conserve valuable natural resources.
If you do not book the delivery & storage duration of your originals, we also save travel distances and thus CO2 emissions in the delivery!

During the period for which you have ordered POSTSCAN, we'll collect your incoming mail with the receiving address you provided and digitalize all postcards and regular letters before physical delivery and send them as digital messages to your POSTSCAN customer account in the Deutsche Post shop under "Meine Sendungen" (My items).
The items listed below can be scanned and are displayed in the Deutsche Post shop:
The following conditions must also be met:
Items that we can't scan (e.g. catalogs) will be sent without delay directly to your receiving address.
After we've scanned your mail and sent it to your customer account where you can view it, we put the mail in storage. We send mail that can't be scanned directly to your receiving address without delay. For POSTSCAN orders, we deliver your stored original mail to your receiving address, or to any other address specified by you, every month and after termination of your order.
POSTSCAN can only be ordered for a single individual at the delivery address you provide. Additional household members may place their own POSTSCAN order through their personal account in the Deutsche Post online shop.
For POSTSCAN we use only the delivery address that you:
Provided when you ordered POSTSCAN in the shop.
Verified using the AdressTAN sent to you.
Items sent to the delivery address will be scanned at POSTSCAN. The delivery address consists of first name, last name, street, house number, postal code and city. Make sure nobody living at the delivery address has an identical name (first names or multiple first names and last names). Collective forms of address such as "Family" or "John and Mary Smith" may not be used for registration.
Only delivery addresses in Germany are allowed.
Important: Your address cannot change during an active POSTSCAN order. To change your address, you have to enter a new POSTSCAN order for the new address.
POSTSCAN can also be used during temporary absences like vacations or business trips. To do so, after starting the service you only need to terminate it at the desired date in the Deutsche Post shop.
If you wish to receive your mail items as originals after scanning, you must book the additional option "Delivery & Storage Duration" in your customer account. Otherwise, the items will be destroyed after a temporary storage period of 31 days post-scan. You can book the additional option for 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. During these periods, your mail items will be stored in compliance with data protection regulations by Deutsche Post and then delivered to your desired address in a consolidated envelope.
