You may combine Signature Confirmation with COD In- sured mail, Registered Mail, and special handling. It may also be combined with restricted delivery if purchased with insurance for more than $220, COD, or Registered Mail service. This is an additional cost for Signature Confirma- tion service.

As an add-on service to Delivery Confirmation, there is an additional cost. When you upload (send) the transaction using your mailing system, the additional cost is slightly lower than if your local Post Office handles the transaction.

Certified Mail is a service offered by the USPS for a fee in addition to postage, and may be combined with restricted delivery and return receipt. This service is available for Priority Mail and First Class Mail. Certified Mail provides a delivery record that the Postal Service keeps for two years. You can view the Certified Mail delivery record on the Track and Confirm website at usps.com (see Section 6).

If you want hardcopy receipts or wish to specify restricted delivery of your Certified Mail, there are options available at your local Post Office (all at extra cost, payable to the USPS). These are described below.

Return Receipts

Return receipt postcards are available from your local Post Office.

When you buy the return receipt postcard, sending a mail piece by Certified Mail assures that you have legal proof of receipt of the communication. The Postal Service sends the green return receipt postcard back to you, the sender. This is a very useful tool for collecting funds, recovering checks and making legal notifications. A return receipt for Certified Mail serves as a legal document proving the date and time when the recipient took possession of the mail piece.
