2026 USPS Holidays, Deadlines, and Postal Dates

How virtual mailboxes help with postal holidays

Holidays may pause physical mail delivery, but your business correspondence can't always wait. To counter this, you might sign up for a virtual mailbox to access business mail whenever you need it—even during postal closures. 

Here's how virtual mail works at LegalZoom:

1. Select your preferred business address to receive mail. 
2. We'll scan and upload copies of your mail as it arrives. 
3. Access and manage your correspondence anytime, using any device. 

If you need the actual document or package, we can forward it to your location, too. To get started, simply select a LegalZoom virtual mail plan, and we'll help you stay on top of business mail ahead of the next holiday season.
