SavvyNomad Mail Management Guide

When you receive mail at our mailing facility, they upload a scan of the outside of the envelope and list the sender. After that, you have three options that you can request at any time via the portal: scan, shred, or forward. By enabling automatic mail scanning, you give the mail facility access to scan the inside and outside of the envelope in one process rather than you making the request.

Requesting Manual Mail Scanning

If you need to scan a specific piece of mail, you can request it directly within the portal:

  1. Navigate to the Mail tab in your account.

  2. Select the option to request a scan for the desired document.

  3. Once scanned, the document will be available for download in your account. You can then print the scanned document to use it for various official purposes, such as submitting forms or documentation to government offices or other institutions.

Activating Automatic Mail Scanning

SavvyNomad also provides an automatic mail scanning feature that scans all incoming mail as it is received. To activate this feature:

  1. Go to the Settings page in your account.

  2. Locate the “Automatic Mail Scanning” option.

  3. Turn the feature on to enable automatic scanning of all incoming mail. This feature saves time and ensures that all your correspondence is conveniently digitized.

Official Use of Scanned Documents

Scanned documents from SavvyNomad can be printed and used for official purposes. For instance, you can use them to submit required documentation to government agencies, financial institutions, or other organizations. This function helps in managing and presenting your mail efficiently without the need for physical mail handling.
