**Apple’s Private Email Relay** is a service that helps protect user privacy by assigning randomly generated relay addresses that forward emails to the user’s real email. If your business sends transactional or marketing emails to Apple users, ensuring proper email deliverability to these relay addresses is essential.

## 1. Understanding Apple User Relay Addresses

Apple assigns a unique, anonymized email address for users signing up with **"Sign in with Apple"**. These addresses use the domain `@privaterelay.appleid.com` and forward emails to the user's actual inbox while maintaining privacy.

## 2. Prerequisites for Sending Emails

Before sending emails to Apple’s relay addresses, ensure:

* You have a registered Apple Developer Account.
* Your domain is properly verified with Apple’s Private Email Relay service.
* You use authenticated email-sending methods (**SPF**, **DKIM**, **DMARC**).

## 3. Steps to Register and Verify Your Domain
