If you have a registered office and/or service address with Rapid Formations, then we’ve got big news about exciting improvements we’re making to the way we handle your government mail.
On 24 April 2018, Rapid Formations will be introducing a brand-new Digital Mailroom – and we think you’re going to love it.
How does our new Digital Mailroom work?
Above all else, our Digital Mailroom will enhance the way we’re able to handle your official government mail from all UK government bodies, including Companies House and HMRC.
It works by using our new, state-of-the-art envelope opening and mail scanning equipment to securely and discreetly open your mail, scan it, and send it to you by email on the same day we receive it, so you no longer have to wait for your mail to be delivered.
We’ll also hold on to the original mail item for 7 days, just in case you’d like it sent to you.
If you do decide you’d like us to send you the original item of mail, all you need to do is email our Digital Mailroom team at digitalmailroom@rapidformations.co.uk and we will post it to you.
Looking for a convenient place to store your mail?
Our Digital Mailroom doesn’t just email you copies of your government mail, you will also be able to access digital copies of each scanned mail item, wherever and whenever you want.
How? Simply log into your client portal, and navigate to your registered office or service address service, where you will be able to view, print or download all the items of scanned mail we’ve sent you for your selected address service.
Which email address will the Digital Mailroom send my scanned mail to?
All scanned mail items will be sent to the email address we have on file in your Rapid Formations account. But if you’d like to change the email address your government mail is sent to, the process is quick and easy.
To change your email address, all you’ve got to do is follow these four simple steps:
- Log in to your online customer portal.
- Select ‘My Account’ on the left-hand side of the tab.
- Select ‘My Details’.
- Under ‘Email Addresses’ and ‘Primary’ enter the new email address you’d like to use, and then select ‘Update Details’
It’s that simple – but if you run into any questions, you can always call our Customer Service Team on 020 7871 9990 or send an email to digitalmailroom@rapidformations.co.uk for support.
If I request an item of mail to be forwarded, what address will it be sent to?
If you request an original item of mail to be forwarded by post, we will send it to the address we have in your Rapid Formations account.
To change your forwarding address, just follow these four easy steps:
- Log in to your online customer portal.
- Select ‘My Account’ on the left-hand side of the tab.
- Select ‘My Details’.
- Under ‘Postal Addresses’ and ‘Primary’, click ‘Choose Another’. Then, either select one of the recently used addresses listed or select ‘Add New Address’ to add a new forwarding address.

How will the new Digital Mailroom make my life easier?
The launch of our Digital Mailroom is a huge development, and we’re incredibly excited about it. As a Rapid Formations client, our new and improved services mean you will be able to:
Get your mail quicker
Now, you’ll be able to look at your mail on the same day we receive it, and you can access it from any device, no matter where in the world you are based.
Access documents while travelling
Are you between addresses? Are you on holiday? You’ll still be able to gain immediate access to your government mail – on the same day we receive it.
Enjoy privacy
Our Digital Mailroom technology securely opens your mail, assigns it to your company, and sends the scanned item directly to you.
Stay organised
As long as you’ve got an account with Rapid Formations, all of your scanned mail will be accessible on your online customer portal. You will no longer need to worry about losing any of your important government correspondence when you need it most. Simply log in to your client portal to view, print or download it!
Go paperless
Is your workspace overflowing with paperwork? Our Digital Mailroom will be a huge help. By automatically sending and storing your important mail digitally, you can avoid clutter and start enjoying a tidy desk and an orderly filing cabinet.
Become an eco-friendly business
By receiving your mail digitally, you’ll save paper, energy and resources. And once the seven-day holding period has passed, your mail will be securely destroyed and recycled.
Save money and time if you’re a non-UK resident
Before the launch of the Rapid Formations Digital Mailroom, registered office and service address mail forwarding to non-UK addresses incurred Royal Mail postal charges – not to mention some long international delivery times. Now, all non-UK residents will be able to receive their scanned mail on the same day without any charges at all.
Our new Digital Mailroom system will come into effect from 24 April 2018. If you do have any questions about our new services and how they will benefit your company, then please give our team a call on 020 7871 9990 or email digitalmailroom@rapidformations.co.uk.
