Set Up Overseas P.O. Box

When stationed overseas, DoD members are authorized a free United States Postal Service (USPS) mail box on base. The Aviano Post Office offers the same services and rates as U.S. Post Offices.

Sign Up for a P.O. Box: Inbound DoD members within 30 days of reporting to Aviano may request a P.O. Box. Your sponsor or unit representative can request a P.O. Box for you via e-mail.

Email: 31FSS.Aviano.Postal@us.af.mil

They will need:

  • Copy of your orders
  • In-Processing Worksheet

Upon Arrival

Inbound DoD Members that have been assigned a P.O. Box must visit the Customer Service window of the Post Office to receive their combination.

APO Mail Service

When using USPS on installation, sending mail or packages to the U.S. takes 10-14 days with priority or first class service. Sending mail or packages to the U.S. can take up to six weeks with the ground advantage service. Express Mail services are not offered at this location.

Example of proper delivery address:
FirstName LastName (no nicknames/no rank)
PSC 103 Box XXXX
APO AE 09603
(United States as the country, not Italy)
