This one-page example was generated with PostOwl's letter writer. It requests information about a community room. The names and address lines are fictional; it is a demonstration, not a letter ready to post.
Check what your recipient needs
A PDF printing service cannot send your original passport, original signed document, cheque or other physical item. Check that the recipient accepts a printed copy and any signature you add. Our PDF signing tool helps prepare a file; it does not decide whether a signature is acceptable for a particular procedure.
Most letters people post without a printer go to an official body. Check the address and what to include before you send: a letter to the DVLA, a council tax appeal letter or a PIP mandatory reconsideration request.
Standard first and second class letters are untracked. For important correspondence, read about dispatch records and proof of posting and compare the delivery options before ordering. You can also send a UK letter while abroad or send the same PDF to several UK recipients.
No-printer FAQs
How do I send a letter if I don't have a printer?
Upload a ready PDF to PostOwl, or use the free letter writer to create one. Enter the recipient's UK address, review the document and postage options, and pay for printing and posting from £1.79. Check the live collection cutoff before ordering.
Can I write the letter on my phone?
Yes. Open the letter writer in your browser, enter your message and download the PDF free. You can keep the file or continue to paid UK printing and postage. If you already have a PDF, select it from your device on the send page.
Is downloading the letter free?
Yes. Creating and downloading a PDF in the letter writer is free. Printing and postage are optional paid services, with the total shown before payment. You do not need a PostOwl account.
What file can I send?
Upload a PDF up to 50 pages and 8 MB. Check that it opens correctly and includes every required page. If a signature is needed, confirm the recipient accepts the type of signature and printed copy you supply. PostOwl does not check the document's legal effect.
How much does it cost to send a letter online?
One black-and-white PDF page with standard second class UK postage costs £1.79, including printing, an envelope and a separate PostOwl promotional insert. With standard first or second class, extra PDF pages cost £0.15 each, colour adds £0.10 per page, and removing the insert adds £0.75 per letter. One-page first class is £2.69. Tracked services have separate prices; checkout shows the exact total.
Will I know when the letter arrives?
Standard first and second class letters are untracked. A production acceptance or dispatch update is not proof of delivery. Check the available tracked services and the recipient's evidence requirements before you pay.
