Two Ways to Send Certified Mail. Pick the One That Fits Your Day.
Most online Certified Mail services make you choose their way of working. We support both — from the same account, at the same login, with the same 10-year record archive behind them.
Print Certified Mail Labels Yourself
Create a USPS Certified Mail Label with live postage, print it on plain paper or an adhesive label from any office printer, and drop the envelope with your carrier. No postage meter, no special software, and no PS Form 3800 from the Post Office counter.
Best for: offices that already handle their own mail and want to stop standing in line.
Upload a PDF and We Print, Stuff and Mail It the Same Business Day
Upload the letter and the address. We print it, insert it, apply Certified Mail postage, and hand it to USPS for acceptance into the mailstream— the same business day for orders submitted by 5:00 PM Eastern. You never touch paper. Every job comes back with a notarized affidavit of mailing, USPS acceptance confirmation, tracking, and a delivery event stored in your account.
Best for: remote teams, legal and compliance mailings, and anyone who does not want a mailroom or trip to the Post Office.
Certified Mail Proof When Your Records Matter
Certified Mail is often used when the sender needs evidence that an important document was mailed and a record of USPS delivery or attempted delivery. Certified Mail Labels helps organize that evidence in one online account and keeps a 10-year compliance archive.
Proof of Mailing & USPS Acceptance
Document when your mailing was created and access available USPS acceptance records and SCAN Form documentation after USPS receives the mailpiece.
USPS Tracking
Monitor available USPS tracking events from acceptance through delivery or attempted delivery. Records are kept in your account for 10 years.
Electronic Delivery Confirmation
Compliance proof that includes the recipient's mailing address, postage paid receipt, manifest, IMPB (Intelligent Mail Postal Barcode) USPS acceptance scan date and time, postmark date, tracking and delivery events.
Electronic Return Receipt
When you purchase this service with Certified Mail, you can retrieve the USPS Return Receipt Electronic record, including available delivery and signature information supplied by USPS.
10-Year Archive
Search historical mailing records, USPS tracking events, delivery information and available Return Receipt signatures from one account—without relying on paper receipts or filing cabinets. Certified Mail Labels maintains your mailing records for up to 10 years, making compliance reporting easier to locate for audits, disputes and internal documentation.
Replace the Certified Mail Green Card with Electronic Return Receipt
Still using the traditional old-fashioned USPS green Return Receipt cards?
Save $1.74 vs. the USPS hardcopy Return Receipt fee
When purchased with an eligible Certified Mail mailing, the electronic Return Receipt provides USPS delivery information and the available recipient signature record electronically.
Certified Mail Labels makes these records easier to retrieve and organize with the rest of your Certified Mail history.
Certified Mail Labels Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is USPS Certified Mail?
A: Certified Mail is a USPS service that provides the sender with a mailing receipt and electronic verification that the mailpiece was delivered or that a delivery attempt was made.
Q: Can I send Certified Mail online without going to the Post Office?
A: Yes. Create the USPS Certified Mail Label online, print it with postage on plain paper or an adhesive label, and hand the envelope to your mail carrier or drop it in a USPS collection box. You can also upload a PDF and have Certified Mail Labels print and mail the letter for you the same business day.
Q: How much does Certified Mail cost in 2026?
A: A one-ounce Certified Mail letter with Electronic Delivery Confirmation costs $7.28 through Certified Mail Labels: $0.78 postage, a $5.55 Certified Mail fee, and $0.95 for the Electronic Delivery Confirmation. Adding Return Receipt Electronic for a signature costs $2.91 more. Rates effective July 12, 2026.
Q: What is the difference between Certified Mail and Return Receipt?
A: Certified Mail gives you proof that you mailed the item and a record of acceptance, delivery or attempted delivery. Return Receipt is an add-on that also gives you the recipient's signature. You can buy Certified Mail with Electronic Delivery Confirmation, or add Return Receipt Electronic if you need the signature for $2.91.
Q: Is Electronic Return Receipt the same as the green card?
A: It is the electronic version of PS Form 3811, the green postcard. USPS returns a PDF record of the delivery and signature instead of mailing a card back to you. It costs $2.91 instead of $4.65 and posts to your account automatically.
Q: Do I need a postage meter or special software?
A: No. Any standard office printer works. There is no monthly fee, meter to lease, no software to install, and no minimum volume. Just pay wehn you mail.
Q: Can you print and mail my Certified Mail letter for me?
A: Yes. Upload the PDF letter and enter the recipient address, choose your mailing service, and we print, insert, and mail it. Orders submitted by 5:00 PM Eastern go out the same business day; later orders go out the next business day. You receive a notarized Affidavit of Mailing, USPS acceptance confirmation, tracking, and a receipt of delivery or attempted delivery.
Q: How do I send Certified Mail in bulk?
A: Upload an Excel or CSV list to generate a whole batch of labels at once, or automate it entirely with our automated API or secure SFTP transfers. Batch printing with a single USPS SCAN Form so the entire mailing is accepted in one USPS acceptance scan.
Q: How long does Certified Mail take to arrive?
A: USPS delivers most Certified Mail as First Class Mail in three to seven business days. You can expedite Certified Mail by adding Priority Mail two- or three-day delivery; the Certified Mail service adds delivery tracking and proof of delivery, not necessarily speed. Delivery times are set by USPS and are not guaranteed.
Q: How long do you keep my Certified Mail records?
A: 10 years. Tracking, proof of mailing, delivery confirmation, and any signature records stay searchable in your account for a decade at no extra charge. If we mail your document, we also keep an image of the letter.
Q: Is there a monthly fee or a contract?
A: No. There is no subscription, no contract, no equipment lease, and no minimum volume. You pay for the postage and services you use.
Q: Can I get a refund if I print a label and do not mail it?
A: Yes. You can cancel unused labels and get a postage refund through your account as long as the label is not mailed. You must cancel unused labels within 6 business days. The unused postage is refunded to your account less a processing fee.
Q: Who uses Certified Mail Labels?
A: Law firms, collection agencies, property managers, healthcare providers, insurers, HR departments, municipalities, and federal and state agencies — anyone who has to prove a document was sent and delivered.
