Can I pay for a physical address which has all mail sent to the address scanned and sent to me electronically?

That I know of, no.

You could possibly pay someone already at a physical address to do this for you.

HUH

What are you doing, moving out of the country and leaving a drop address for mail?

A lawyer I know has acted as a “mail box”. It was part of a restraining order for a woman that did not want to have a physical address.

@Tropical_Willie What am I doing? I am trying to establish an address where mail sent to this address is scanned and emailed to me just as the question implies.

Okay, @fluthercensors. If there is such a company / business other than a lawyer ^ ^ , I don’t know of one.
If there is anything shady, an “address” would be hauled in for questioning?

A lawyer could invoke a “client – lawyer” response, but you would have to pay a monthly ( my best guess ) fee.

I think it would be a GREAT service to offer. People who are traveling would be able to get their mail from anywhere in the world, without waiting for it to be physically forwarded or held for them. Did you check with Mailboxes, Etc. and some of those services to see if they would do this for you? If not, I would check Craig’s list for someone who does part time secretarial services.

I am willing to pay some reasonable fee like 100€/mo (of course cheaper is better). I was hoping for something like:
a) mailbox in usa but owned by foreign law firm in country without ties to USA
b) mail forwarded from usa to foreign law firm which scans and emails it
c) if USA court wants information about mail box it can get address of foreign law firm
d) if USA court wants information from foreign law firm they are SOL

Sounds a bit fishy. Good luck.

I think you’ll find that any legit firm would not engage a blind forwarding to a foreign country. Department Homeland Security and all. And that would leave you SOL.

@Tropical_Willie, @blueiiznh The forward from US wouldn’t be blind. It would go to a known law-firm in country X. Why is it fishy that a company (law firm in this case) in country X would also wish to maintain a US address? Why is privacy fishy?

There are lots of dropbox services which will act as remailers. It would not surprise me if there were some which offered this service. Your best bet is to do Google searches for “dropbox” and “remailer” while adding a ”-email” tag so that you’re more likely to find the bricks-and-mortar services rather than the virtual online services.

@SmashTheState thank you for a real answer (although google wasn’t as successful as I hoped and -email hurts my odds of finding brick and mortar remailers which remail the scanned image of the document instead of the document itself).

I would google some reviews as I have heard bad things about them. But it is the only place I know of that comes close to offering what you want.

There are many businesses that do that service for you. You rent a PO Box from them and they forward your mail to you. In Florida, it is done because Florida doesn’t have a state income tax. Snowbirds, or people who only stay here in the winter keep their address as Florida for tax purposes.

If you live on the road, in an RV for instance, this setup is very common as well.

I just understood the “scanned and emailed” part of your question. But sure, they’d do that for a fee.
