Signing Up with Blackship

Under Japanese law, all package forwarding companies are required to verify each customer’s identity and address before shipping packages internationally. For this reason, every Blackship customer must complete our simple 4-step application process before they can begin shipping. Please note that we allow only one account per customer.

To complete your application, you’ll need:

• One document to verify your identity

• One document to verify your shipping address

In some cases, a single document can be used for both identity and address verification, as long as it meets all requirements.

We accept the following documents for identity verification. The document must clearly show your name, birthdate, and a valid expiration date.

• Valid passport

• National identity card

• Driver’s license

• Student card

• Residence card

• Health insurance card

If your identity document shows your current address, it can also be used for address verification.

If not, you may submit one of the following documents showing your current address. The document must be addressed to you:

• Vehicle registration

• Family register

• Property rental agreement

• Cell phone bill

• Cable, internet, or utility bill (issued within the last 90 days)

• Bank statement (issued within the last 90 days)

• Credit card statement (issued within the last 90 days)

Once you submit your application, our team will review it within 1-2 business days (Monday–Friday, excluding Japanese public holidays).

If there are any issues or additional information needed, we will contact you by email with further instructions.

Once your application is accepted, you will receive your Blackship address.
