You can use YBA mail forwarding without becoming a South Dakota resident. Some clients use mail forwarding only. Others later choose to explore South Dakota residency, which involves additional requirements beyond opening a mailbox.

How do you want to manage your mail?
Both plans give you a dependable YBA mailing address and professional mail handling. The biggest difference is how much visibility you want before your mail is forwarded.
Both plans require a 12 month commitment. Choose how you want to pay.

Traditional mail forwarding vs digital mail

Traditional

- We securely hold it.
- You tell us when and where to forward it.
Best for: People who do not need to see incoming mail before forwarding.
Digital
- We receive your mail.
- You can review eligible mail digitally according to your plan.
- You request forwarding when you need the physical item.
Best for: Full time travelers and clients who want more control over what gets forwarded.

What mail forwarding does not do
- It does not automatically establish South Dakota residency.
- It does not guarantee acceptance by every bank, insurer, government agency or third party.
- It is not the same thing as a residential property address.
- It does not replace legal or tax advice.
If an organization specifically requires a residential property address, Dakota Address is a separate service for qualifying situations.

Common mail forwarding mistakes
Assuming a mailbox creates residency
A mailing address is a place to receive mail. Residency involves additional requirements.
Using a mailing address where a residential address is required
Some organizations specifically ask for a residential property address.
Waiting until the last minute to update important mail
Update banks, insurers and other senders early so nothing goes to an old address.
Forgetting to request forwarding
Mail is held until you tell us when and where to send it.
Not keeping enough postage funds available
Keep your postage wallet funded so forwarding is not delayed.
Sending prohibited or restricted items
Some items cannot be mailed or forwarded. Check before you ship.
Assuming every organization treats mailing addresses the same way
Requirements vary by organization and purpose.
Pick your plan and let your mail catch up to you.
