Certified Mail - $3.30 Fee (All fees are in addition to
postage.)
Certified Mail provides proof of mailing and delivery of mail. The
sender receives a mailing receipt at the time of mailing and a record of
delivery is maintained by the Postal Service. A return receipt can also be
purchased for an additional fee to provide the sender with proof of
delivery. Certified Mail service is only available for First-Class Mail or
Priority Mail. See below for more information about return receipts.
An example of a Certified Mail Receipt is shown below.

the recipient’s signature and the date and time that your mail piece was
delivered. This is commonly used with Certified Mail. It can also be
used for registered mail, insured mail and express items. An example
of how to fill out the return receipt is below.
