<p>Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if my application is to be postmarked by January 15th, can I mail the application on the fifteenth without it being considered late?</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
<p>It needs to be at a post office BEFORE it closes on the 15th in order to get the post mark that day. So, yes, you can mail it on the 15th,but be sure you don’t drop it in a box at 7pm on the 15th - that will get it a post mark on the 16th</p>
<p>okay thank you!</p>
