Postservice.at

Postservice.at is a virtual office service that provides you with a legally valid business address in the heart of Vienna, Austria. Located at Seitenstettengasse 5, 1010 Vienna, this is not a simple PO box. It is a real, physical location with a staffed reception and your company nameplate on the door. Operated by 1010 Works GmbH and bootstrapped for over eight years, Postservice.at has earned a stellar reputation, trusted by more than 1,000 customers and holding a 4.9 out of 5 rating.

The main value proposition of Postservice.at is giving you a prestigious address in Vienna's first district that is accepted by the Austrian commercial register (Firmenbuch), valid for your website Impressum under the E-Commerce Act, and recognized by the trade authority. This means you can officially register a company in Austria without needing a physical office space. You can also keep your private home address off public records, which is a huge benefit for privacy and security.

Postservice.at is designed for founders, freelancers, online sellers, and international companies who want to establish a professional presence in Austria. The service handles all your business mail: they receive mail every business day, scan it in a GDPR-compliant manner inside Austria, and then send you the digital copies. You can also opt for physical forwarding or package acceptance. The best part? Setting up your address takes about two minutes. It is a beginner-friendly, fast, and reliable solution for anyone looking to start or grow a business in Austria with a professional, legal, and trusted address.

Legally Valid Business Address

This is the core feature. Postservice.at provides an official, ladungsfähige (serviceable) business address in 1010 Vienna. This means it is accepted by the Austrian commercial register (Firmenbuch) for registering your company, by the trade authority for your Gewerbeanmeldung (trade license), and by the E-Commerce Act for your website Impressum. Unlike a PO box, this is a real physical address with a company nameplate, so it meets all legal requirements for a formal business presence in Austria.

Digital Mail Scanning Service

Every business day, Postservice.at receives your mail at their Vienna office. They then scan each item in a GDPR-compliant manner from within Austria and send you the digital copy via email. This is a perfect solution for digital nomads, frequent travelers, or anyone who wants to access their mail from anywhere in the world. You get a notification with a PDF of your mail, so you never miss an important document from the tax office, court, or your customers.

Package Acceptance and Forwarding

Beyond standard letters, Postservice.at also accepts packages on your behalf. You can have all your business deliveries sent directly to your virtual office address. If you need the physical item, you can choose to have it forwarded to you. The Plus and Premium plans include optional physical mail forwarding, and the Premium plan even offers forwarding within the entire European Union. This gives you the flexibility to receive and manage all types of business correspondence.

Company Nameplate and Reception

Your business gets a professional presence with a physical company nameplate on the post box at Seitenstettengasse 5. This is not just a digital service; your company name is displayed at a real location in Vienna's first district. The Plus and Premium plans also include a prominent sign and a logo on the Postservice.at website with a link to your business. This builds trust with clients, partners, and authorities, showing that you have a legitimate, established address.

Company Registration in Austria

If you are starting a GmbH, AG, KG, OG, or a sole proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen) in Austria, you need a physical, serviceable address for the Firmenbuch (commercial register). Postservice.at provides exactly that. Founders and entrepreneurs can use this address as their official company headquarters without the cost of renting an entire office. The address is immediately ready for registration, and it is accepted by the Handelsgericht Wien (Commercial Court of Vienna), making the entire incorporation process smooth and fast.

Protecting Private Address Privacy

Many freelancers, online sellers, and business owners do not want their home address to be publicly visible in the company register, on their website Impressum, or on official documents. By using Postservice.at, you can keep your private home address completely off public records. Your business address becomes the only address associated with your company. This protects your personal privacy, security, and family from unwanted visitors, junk mail, or any legal correspondence that should go to your business.

E-Commerce and Online Store Impressum

For anyone running an online shop or a website that targets Austrian customers, the law requires a clear and accessible Impressum (legal notice) with your full business name and address. Postservice.at provides a valid address that meets this legal requirement. Online sellers on platforms like Amazon, Shopify, or Etsy can use this address to stay compliant with Austrian and EU e-commerce laws. It gives your online store a professional and trustworthy image while ensuring you meet all legal obligations.

International Company Expansion

If you are a company based outside of Austria but want to enter the Austrian or broader European market, Postservice.at makes it easy. You can establish a legal presence in Vienna without needing a physical office or a local employee. The address can be used for your local registration, for receiving official documents, and for building a local reputation. This is a cost-effective and fast way for international startups and digital nomads to expand their operations into Austria.

Is the Postservice.at address really accepted by the Austrian commercial register (Firmenbuch)?

Yes, absolutely. The address at Seitenstettengasse 5/37, 1010 Vienna is a real, physical location with a staffed reception and your company nameplate. This makes it a ladungsfähige (serviceable) address, which is exactly what the Firmenbuch requires for registering a company. It is accepted by the Handelsgericht Wien (Commercial Court of Vienna) and by the trade authority for your Gewerbeanmeldung.

How does the digital mail scanning work?

Every business day, the Postservice.at team receives all mail addressed to your company. They open and scan each item in a GDPR-compliant manner from within Austria. You then receive the scanned copy as a PDF directly to your email inbox. You can view, download, and manage your mail from anywhere in the world. The Plus and Premium plans offer unlimited scans, so you never have to worry about extra costs.

Can I receive packages at this address?

Yes, you can. Postservice.at accepts packages on your behalf. All plans include package acceptance. If you need the physical item, you can arrange to pick it up yourself, or you can choose a plan that includes physical mail forwarding. The Premium plan even offers forwarding within the entire European Union, making it very flexible for businesses that need to receive goods or documents.

How fast is the setup, and what do I need to do?
