What is Certified Mail®? How Does Certified Mail Labels Work? What is Certified Mail? Certified Mail provides the mailer with 'proof' which includes the date an item was mailed, letter tracking, and delivery confirmation. Certified Mail requires a signature upon delivery to provide proof the item was delivered. Certified Mail is used primarily for important legal and compliance mail, regulatory, and notice to owners' mailings.
What is a Certified Mail Label? We call it a ‘label’ but it is just a plain sheet of paper that prints on your color printer. It is designed to be folded and glued onto the outside of your envelope. You may also purchase our approved USPS Certified Mail Envelopes and print on just a black ink laser printer for automated mailings. Nothing to glue, tape, or affix. This envelope contains the green USPS Certified Mail banner and large cellophane window so that USPS barcode readers can easily sort and process the Certified Mail as an automated transaction for expedited delivery.
