Send a Letter to the UK From France
Upload or write your letter online — we print it and post it inside the UK via Royal Mail. No printer. No stamps. No post office. Arrives in days, not weeks.
Why people in France use PostRight
Need to post a letter to someone in the UK, but you live in France? Sending it the normal way means slow international mail — and it can take a week or more to arrive. PostRight does it a better way. You upload your letter, or write one online. We print it and post it for you inside the UK, using Royal Mail. So it arrives fast — just like a letter posted down the road.
France is home to hundreds of thousands of British expats and dual nationals with ongoing ties to the UK. A lot of official business with UK government departments, banks, and offices still needs a real paper letter — and sending one from France the traditional way is slow and unreliable. PostRight takes the distance away.
You can order at any time of day or night. Place your order before 1pm UK time and your letter goes out the same working day. There is nothing for you to print or post yourself.
Reasons people in France write to the UK
Common situations where a real posted letter is still needed:
UK pension and DWP
Many British expats living in France need to write to the DWP about their UK State Pension — to update their address, report a change, or confirm they are still living abroad.
HMRC and UK tax
Former UK residents dealing with HMRC — claiming a tax refund, reporting UK rental income, or responding to a tax query — often need to send a formal letter.
UK property and estate matters
Managing a UK property, dealing with a will or inheritance, or communicating with a UK solicitor or estate agent still requires a real posted letter.
UK banks and official documents
Closing or updating a UK bank account, sending certified documents to UK offices, or writing to universities and government departments from France.

Is it safe to send important letters this way?
Yes. PostRight is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and handles your documents securely. Your letter content is used only to print and post your letter — it is never shared or stored beyond what is needed to fulfil your order.
For sensitive letters — such as those to HMRC, the DWP, or a solicitor — we recommend choosing a tracked or signed-for service so you have proof it was sent and received.
Sending from a certain country?
We have specific guides for other countries too:
