Courier Policies

The Courier Policies page lists the policies for using courier services for delivery of documents to the North Carolina Secretary of State’s Office.

Mailing to Foreign Jurisdictions

• Due to missing, incorrect or false account numbers presented on shipping labels and the fact that third party couriers do not actually charge the credit or debit card at the time the labels are printed, but when they arrive at their first destination, we can no longer use third party courier (i.e., UPS, FedEx, DHL) service for mailing to foreign jurisdictions.

• We will mail a USPS prepaid envelope and label to foreign jurisdictions as long as the sender’s address on the label is not the North Carolina Secretary of State’s address.

Shipping Documents

• A pre-paid shipping label is required with the documents for processing. This shipping document is computer generated and can be obtained online from the courier service of your choice.
