Send a Letter to the Pope Online Without a Printer

Print and Mail Company sends your letter to the Pope without you needing a printer, envelope or stamps: write the letter on your computer or phone, save it as a PDF and upload it, and we print it, put it in an envelope and post it to Vatican City.

The Pope's address

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, Apostolic Palace, 00120 Vatican City

In the recipient form, enter "His Holiness Pope Leo XIV" as the name, "Apostolic Palace" as the street, 00120 as the postcode and Vatican City as the city, and choose Vatican City as the country. We print the address directly on the envelope.

How to write your letter

  • Salutation: begin with "Your Holiness" or "Most Holy Father".
  • Your address: put your full name and postal address at the top or bottom of the letter, so they stay with the letter.
  • Layout: any layout works; each A4 or US Letter page only needs 9 mm free on every side, because the address is printed on the envelope, not shown through a window.
  • Writing help: an AI assistant can write the letter with you and send it after you confirm.

How to send it without a printer

  1. Write the letter in Word, Pages, Google Docs or any other word processor and save or download it as a PDF.
  2. Upload the PDF on the send page. We check the page size, margins and page count automatically.
