Frequently Asked Questions

MyPyMail.com is a virtual mail service that provides you with a real street address in Paraguay for receiving postal mail. It's designed for businesses, expats, remote workers, and digital nomads who need an official mailing address in Paraguay without physically being there. The service handles your incoming mail by scanning it, storing it securely, and allowing you to access it online from anywhere. You also have options for mail forwarding and long-term storage.

Sign up on the MyPyMail website and choose a plan (Basic, Standard, or Premium). After registration, you'll receive a mailing address in Greater Asunción, Paraguay. Any mail sent to this address is received at our facility, scanned, and uploaded to your private online dashboard. Once you've created your account, you're ready to share your new address and start receiving mail.

Three annual plans: Basic ($99/yr) with 1 scan/month and 60-day storage, Standard ($149/yr) with 10 scans/month and 2-year storage plus chat support, and Premium ($199/yr) with 20 scans/month, 3-year storage, included forwarding (2x/year), and phone support. All plans include a real physical address and proof of address documentation.
