Information about Certified Mail
Certified Mail is a type of Special Service mail offered by the United States Postal Service which allows the sender proof of mailing, as well as proof of delivery.[1] Certified Mail also provides the sender with a copy of the recipients signature, which is obtained at the time of delivery, by the Postal Service. Certified Mail is only available for Priority Mail and First Class Mail[2] letters mailed within the United States and its territories (including APOs and FPOs).[3]. Each piece of certified mail is assigned a unique tracking number. This number serves as both an official record of mailing and receipt of the item by the Postal Service.
Since Certified Mail provides both proof of mailing and proof of delivery, a copy of each Certified Mail transaction is kept on file by the United States Postal Service. Certified Mail is recognized by the old-fashioned green Return Receipt card[4] that is returned to the sender as proof of delivery. Today the USPS new Return Receipt Electronic (RRE) provides electronic proof of delivery information. When the letter reaches its final delivery destination the letter carrier captures the signature of the person that accepts the letter and the information is electronically stored.
