How do I request a rescan of my mail?

Updated today

If there’s an issue with a scan of your mail, you can request a rescan directly from your dashboard. Stable will re-open and rescan the item, and the updated scan will replace the original in your account.

When to request a rescan

You might need a rescan if:

  • The scan is blurry or hard to read

  • Pages are missing from the scan

  • Pages are out of order

  • Part of the content is covered or obscured (e.g., by a post-it note or fold)

  • Something else looks off

How to request a rescan

  1. Open the piece of mail in your dashboard

  2. Click the Rescan option from the menu on the mail item

  3. Select a reason for the rescan from the dropdown:

    • Low quality scan — the text is blurry or unreadable

    • Missing expected content — pages are missing from the scan

    • Pages out of order — the pages aren’t in the correct sequence

    • Contents covered — part of the content is hidden or obscured

    • Other — something else is wrong (a comment is required)

  4. Optionally, add a comment with more detail about the issue (e.g., “Text is blurry and unreadable on page 2”). Be as specific as you can — this helps our team get it right.

  5. Click Rescan 1 piece of mail to submit your request

What happens next

Once you submit your request, the original scan will no longer be available. Our team will re-open and rescan the item, and the new scan will be uploaded to your dashboard. We’ll send you another notification if you have them enabled and you can track rescan activity in the mail item’s timeline.

Good to know

  • Rescans are available for individual pieces of mail, not in bulk

  • In some cases, your request may be escalated to our team for further review. If that happens, we’ll follow up with you over email.

  • Rescans are not available for mail from registered agent addresses

If you’re having a recurring issue with scan quality or need further help, reach out to our team and we'll be happy to help!
