The most important questions about PEAX
What happens to non-scannable items (EC cards, credit cards, voting material, etc.) if I have activated PEAX mail forwarding?
The postage costs for automatic physical forwarding are covered by PEAX, which is why only those items that cannot be processed digitally due to their nature and must be delivered to the recipient in physical form are included in automatic forwarding.
Examples of automatic forwarding are Credit cards, EC cards, driving licenses, public transport season tickets and voting material.
When will my documents be scanned? When will they be available on PEAX?
Mail is scanned immediately on arriving at the scanning centre (from Monday to Friday). It will be available in the PEAX portal as soon as it has been scanned. Usually you will receive a notification email at midday.
What happens with a registered letter?
On accepting the GTC, PEAX users agree to registered mail being delivered to the scanning centre. Registered mail is classed as delivered upon receipt by the scanning centre. The documents are then scanned and deposited in the PEAX mailbox. Unscannable documents will automatically be forwarded to the PEAX user's residential address. A hard copy can be sent to the user's home, if required. The PEAX user will immediately receive a notification email informing them that the registered mail has been received.
In contrast to registered mail, registered letters sent by hand cannot be accepted by our scanning center, as they are personal and can only be accepted by the recipient. If a registered letter arrives for you, we will inform you as usual. In addition, we will send you the scan of the pick-up slip as information to your PEAX mailbox. With the help of the postal collection slip, the letter can be redirected to a desired address, e.g. to a post office near you, within 7 days. If the letter is not redirected within this period of time, the postal service will automatically return the registered letter sent by hand to the sender.
