What Is Certified Mail?
Certified Mail is a service provided by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that offers proof of mailing and delivery for important documents, compliance mail, and correspondence. It provides an added layer of security and assurance compared to regular mail. With Certified Mail, you can track your letter from the time it is sent until it reaches its destination.
When you send a letter via Certified Mail, the USPS will provide you with a unique tracking number. This allows you to monitor the progress of your letter online and receive notifications when it has been delivered. In addition, Certified Mail requires a signature upon delivery, ensuring that your document securely reaches the intended destination and recipient.
