Sometimes an email simply will not do. A formal complaint, a letter to a legal department, a notice to a landlord, paperwork for a solicitor or an institution — there are moments when a document has to arrive on paper, at a physical address in Dublin. And that is a real problem if you are abroad, or in Ireland without a printer, an envelope and a stamp to your name. Our print & post service closes that gap: you upload a PDF from anywhere in the world, and we print it, seal it and post it through An Post to the Dublin address you choose.

Why a printed letter still gets read

Emails to big organisations are filtered, queued and too often answered by software. A physical letter is different: post that arrives at a company's registered address gets opened, logged by the mailroom and routed to the department named on it. That is why formal escalations, complaints and legal correspondence still travel on paper — and why Dublin matters so much here: the city hosts the European headquarters of many of the world's largest technology companies, along with banks, law firms and public institutions. If you are anywhere in Europe and your issue is with a company's Irish entity, the letter usually needs to arrive in Dublin.

How print & post works

  1. Upload your PDF on our order page — a letter, a complaint with annexes, a signed form — and pick the paper (for a formal letter we recommend 100g).
  2. Choose the An Post service: Standard for an everyday letter, or Registered for tracking and a signature on delivery.
  3. Tick "Send it to someone else" in the contact step and enter the recipient exactly as it should appear on the envelope: company or person, department, street and Eircode. Your own name and address — in any country — go on the envelope as the sender.
  4. Pay by card and we print, seal and post it the next working day, in a plain, unbranded envelope — nothing on it mentions our service. Your invoice arrives by email like any other order.

Rather leave it to us? Email the PDF and both addresses to info@onlineprintingdublin.ie or message us on WhatsApp, and we set the order up for you.

Discretion by default

The envelope carries the recipient's address and your name as the sender: no logo, no branding, no reference to how it was produced. The letter reads exactly as if you had printed and posted it yourself. On the inside, your file is treated the way we treat everything we print: transferred securely, never shared, and deleted from our systems within 30 days. If you are curious about the details, we explain the whole file lifecycle in our guide to confidential document printing.

Need proof it was sent? Registered post is available

For a routine letter, ordinary An Post delivery does the job. If the letter really matters — a formal complaint, anything with legal weight — An Post's registered post adds a tracking number and a signature on delivery, and when it leaves you get an email with a photo of the An Post receipt and the tracking number — a dated record that it went out. Either way the postage is part of the total you see before you pay.

What it costs

The printing costs the same as any order on our website (for a formal letter we recommend 100g paper — it feels substantial in the hand), with the usual minimum printing order of €2.95 and the €2.95 management fee. Delivery is by An Post: Standard from €1.95 (free when your printing comes to €30 or more), or Registered from €10.00. A letter of a few pages by Registered Post comes to about €15.90 in total, and you see the exact figure before paying — any card works.

One honest caveat

We print and post letters; we are not a legal courier and we do not provide formal service of legal proceedings. If a court or regulation requires documents to be served in a specific way — by a solicitor, a summons server or registered channels defined by law — check those requirements first. For everything else that just needs to arrive, we are very likely the simplest way to get paper to a Dublin address without being anywhere near Dublin.

Also printing official paperwork for yourself while you are here? Our guide to printing official documents in Dublin covers forms, Revenue paperwork and appointments. And if the address is outside Dublin — Cork, Galway, Belfast or anywhere else in Ireland — the same service works: see our guide to printing delivered anywhere in Ireland.
