Certified mail is often used when someone wants proof that a letter was mailed and delivered or delivery was attempted. This guide explains what certified mail is, when people commonly use it, and how it differs from sending a standard physical letter.
Certified mail is a USPS service that gives the sender proof that a letter was mailed and that delivery was made or attempted. The sender typically receives a receipt at the time of mailing and may also receive a record of delivery, including the recipient's signature if return receipt service is requested.
