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 envelope (exterior) scanning, up to 25 mail items/year, 1 mail forwarding/month (shipping billed at carrier rates), and a 2-year digital archive; Standard ($149/yr) adds full document scanning (all pages), up to 120 mail items/year, unlimited forwarding (shipping at carrier rates), a registered-address confirmation letter, and email and Slack notifications; Premium ($199/yr) adds unlimited mail items, a 3-year digital archive, priority same-day support, and a dedicated mailbox number. All plans include a real street address in Greater Asunción and an online dashboard. Physical mail is held for up to 90 days while you decide whether to scan, forward, or shred it.

Many clients do. You receive a real, physical street address in Greater Asunción (not a P.O. Box) that is commonly used for bank and institutional correspondence-address verification and for receiving official correspondence. Acceptance always depends on each institution's own compliance policy, so confirm with them first.

Typically the same day. Our standard is within 1 business day (often within hours). You'll receive an email notification and can view scans in your online dashboard. Urgent items can be prioritized.

Your mail is stored in a secure facility, handled only by authorized staff. Digital scans are transmitted via encrypted connections. We never share your data with anyone. You retain full control and can request physical document destruction at any time.

Your MyPyMail address is ideal for receiving banking and government correspondence, but alone may not satisfy formal proof of residence requirements like utility bills. We can advise on alternative options.

Asuncion and major cities are generally safe, comparable to other South American capitals. Popular expat neighborhoods like Villa Morra, Carmelitas, and Manora are well-established and secure. Common-sense precautions apply.

Spanish is essential for daily life. Guarani is the second official language but less critical for expats. In business and expat communities, English is widely understood. We recommend learning basic Spanish before arriving.
