Send a Job Application by Post Online: Printed and Posted for You

• The job ad asks for it: some employers, public authorities, schools and traditional companies still ask for applications by post.
• Speculative applications: a printed application lands on a desk instead of in an inbox.
• You are abroad: you can apply to an employer in another country without a printer or a post office nearby.

1. Put everything in one PDF, in the order the employer should read it: cover letter, CV, then certificates and references. Word, Pages, Google Docs and LibreOffice export to PDF, and a scanning app turns paper certificates into PDF pages.
2. Upload the PDF on the send page. We check the page size, margins (9 mm free on every side) and page count automatically.
3. Enter the employer's address, choose colour printing if your CV has a photo or coloured design, and single-sided printing, which is usual for applications.
4. Choose the C4 envelope so your application arrives flat and unfolded. It holds up to 250 sheets.
5. Pay the price shown, including postage and VAT. Letters paid by 12:00 Central European Time on a business day are usually posted the same business day.

After handover, letters typically take 2–4 business days to Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands, 3–6 to the rest of Europe and 5–15 to the rest of the world; these are typical times, not guarantees. If your application must arrive by a deadline, send it early. If you need proof of delivery, choose registered mail: you get a tracking number and the letter is delivered against a signature, for US$20.89 (excl. VAT).

Your name and postal address from "Your details" are printed at the top left of the envelope after "Sent on behalf of:", so the employer sees you as the sender, and a letter that can't be delivered goes back to you. Put your contact details in the cover letter and CV as usual.

The price is the sum of the envelope, paper per sheet, printing per page and postage, plus 17% VAT. Example: a 6-page colour application to Germany, printed single-sided and sent flat in a C4 envelope, costs US$15.88 including VAT. See the pricing page for every destination.

• Only what is in your PDF: we print your pages; we can't send original certificates, application folders, binders or photos glued on.
• Privacy: our automatic check looks only at page size, margins and page count, not at what you wrote, and the file is deleted automatically 30 days after posting.
• Cancelling: you can cancel a letter in your account until production starts, and the full amount goes back to your credit.
