	The ISWL operates a QSL Bureau of its own, which is well known for its fast through-put, with outgoing [[QSL]] cards cleared on an ongoing basis. There is a small annual fee for the use of the Bureau. The ISWL QSL Bureau is unique, in that all cards addressed to members are dispatched at the League's expense, with self-addressed and stamped envelopes not being required. Access to the QSL Bureau is only open to current ISWL members.
