Why Post Your Letter Inside the UK
It Skips International Post
Your letter starts its journey in the UK, so it travels like any other UK letter instead of crossing borders first.
You Pay UK Postage
You pay UK postage prices, not international ones. A one-page letter starts at £2.49.
You Can Track It
Choose Tracked 24, Tracked 48 or Special Delivery and Royal Mail tracks it to the door. We email you the tracking number.
Nothing to Print or Post
No printer, no stamps and no trip to a post office. You do it all online, on any computer, tablet or phone.
Why People in France Write to the UK
Your UK State Pension
If you live in the European Economic Area, your UK State Pension usually goes up each year. Changes like a new address or bank details go to the International Pension Centre by phone or in writing, not by email.
Telling HMRC You Have Left
If you fill in a Self Assessment return, you tell HMRC you have left the UK on form SA109, which goes by post. HMRC's online services cannot be used for this.
A Home or Family Matters
Letting a UK property, sorting out a will or an estate, or writing to a UK solicitor often still needs a real letter.
UK Banks and Accounts
Closing an old UK bank account, or updating your details with a UK bank or building society, can mean writing a letter.
