A Washington, DC virtual address for your company's mail: a virtual mailbox with a PMB, a virtual office with a coworking member number, or a lease-backed office suite. The address alone doesn't put your company on DC's business register.

Four things decide whether an address fits: mail handling, the USPS step, the documents you get and what's on site.
Mail is received for you and handled online. Included items, forwarding reach and processing speed depend on the plan.
How the virtual mailbox worksApplication for Delivery of Mail Through Agent
A mailbox or member-number address is served by a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency. USPS asks each recipient to sign Form 1583 and show two IDs before mail is delivered.
Form 1583, step by step$350/mo
The Verified Business Address plan puts your company on a signed lease for an office suite, with a utility bill. Banks and platforms still decide.
About proof of addressFull street address, availability, rooms, day passes, hours and fees outside the plan list depend on the Washington building. We confirm them before you pay.
About the virtual officeNo address guarantees a bank account or platform approval, and some providers reject any address they identify as a mailbox (why banks say no). Sources: USPS DMM 508.1.8, Stripe's address rules.

DC keeps its own business register at the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP). Getting mail here and being on that register are separate things.
Doesn't count on its own§ 29-105.05
A company formed elsewhere may not do business in the District until it registers. Some activities don't count on their own; a mailing address isn't listed either way.
Companies on DC's register keep a registered agent in the District, and DLCP says its address can't be a PO Box or a third-party mailbox.
DLCP · LLC fees
Form an LLC in DC$99

Due April 1 of the year after forming, then every 2 years.
Entities on the register file a biennial report, and anyone doing business in the District needs a Basic Business License.

Address format, availability, Form 1583 and what a location can and can't promise.
A virtual address is the general term for a street address that receives your mail while you work elsewhere. Here it comes in three forms. A virtual mailbox is a street address with a private mailbox number (PMB), where mail is scanned, forwarded or stored online. A virtual office is the Mailbox Advanced plan, a coworking address with a member number. The Verified Business Address is an office suite under a signed lease.
Business plans in Washington, DC start with Address Only at $8.99/mo (first 6 months, then $14.99/mo). Mailbox Volume is $16.99/mo, Mailbox Advanced $75/mo and the lease-backed Verified Business Address $350/mo with a 12-month commitment. Personal plans and yearly prices are in the plan section.
Street number and street name, then the quadrant (NW, NE, SW or SE), then your unit, and on the next line Washington, DC and the ZIP code. The District's address standard says the quadrant must be part of every address, so copy it exactly as we give it to you on forms and mail.
No. Your company is formed in the state that filed it, and the address is where its mail goes. Separately, the D.C. Code says a company formed elsewhere may not do business in the District until it registers with the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP). Whether your activity counts as doing business is a legal question, so check with DLCP or a DC attorney.
Not a mailbox address. DLCP says a registered agent's address must be a physical street address in the District and may not be a PO Box or a third-party mailbox. A company on DC's register also files a biennial report with DLCP: $300 biennial report, due April 1 of the year after forming, then every 2 years. The business address on this page is for your everyday mail.
Yes, the Verified Business Address plan is offered in Washington, DC. It comes with a signed lease for an office suite and a utility bill, on a 12-month commitment. Banks and platforms run their own checks and decide for themselves.
For a mailbox or member-number address, USPS Form 1583 for each recipient, with two forms of ID, one of them a photo ID. The signature has to be witnessed, in person, over live video or by a notary. Our Form 1583 guide walks through it.
It can give you a US address and, on the lease plan, documents that banks often ask for. It can't guarantee an account: each bank decides, and some reject addresses they identify as a mailbox.

It depends on what your business does in the District, not on the address itself. D.C. Code § 47-2851.02 requires a Basic Business License of anyone doing business in DC, and DLCP says whether one is needed depends on the business activity, even for companies with clients in the District and no office there.
DLCP's checklist shows where the license sits: before applying you need a federal tax number, DC tax registration, a Certificate of Occupancy for a commercial premises (or a Home Occupation Permit at home) if the business operates from a DC location, and, for an LLC, registration with the Corporations Division and a registered agent. Whether a mailing address alone counts as operating from a DC location isn't answered there, so describe your activity to DLCP's Business Licensing Division before you apply. Registering a company outside its home state.
No. A DC PO Box address gives the box number, Washington, DC and the ZIP code, with no street and no quadrant. A virtual mailbox address is a street address: the street, its quadrant (NW, NE, SW or SE) and your PMB or # number, received for you by a commercial mail receiving agency once your Form 1583 is on file.
The practical difference is delivery. USPS says private carriers such as UPS, FedEx and Amazon can't place items in a PO Box; some Post Offices offer Street Addressing so couriers can use the Post Office's street address, but your mail still waits in the box until you collect it. A virtual mailbox has a street address couriers can use, and you handle your mail online from wherever you are. Virtual mailbox or virtual office.
Yes, on every plan in our list except Address Only, which forwards within the US. You request each shipment from your online mailbox, shipping is quoted per shipment, and postage and carrier charges are yours once the item ships.
The destination country decides what gets in. Under USPS rules the sender is responsible for import restrictions, parcels need a customs form that describes each item and its value, and duties that aren't prepaid are collected from you on delivery. Those rules move: USPS warns that since July 1, 2026, parcels with goods worth up to €150 sent to countries that follow EU customs rules may face new import duties. Hazardous and perishable items can't be forwarded at all. Forwarding mail outside the US.
