A parent has legal right and responsibility of a minor until they are eighteen. It is a personal invasion of privacy to open your mail but it isnÕt illegal. Ask your parents to let you open your own mail.

∙ 13y agoA parent cannot open a child`s mail according to the United States Postal Inspection Service. A parent can sign for a child`s package or letter but cannot open it. If they do, they can be charged with Mail Theft.

No, they do not. It would be silly to grant them that right, when they do not have any rights. They are not a legal guardian. I don’t know why the other person above said that they do. It is illegal for anyone to open up someone else’s mail, even if you are married, it is illegal to open up a spouses mail.
