Questions to ask any provider
- Does the letter carry a USPS Certified Mail article number I can track on usps.com?
- Do I get the electronic return receipt as a PDF?
- What do I get as proof of what was inside the envelope?
- What is the cutoff time for same-day mailing?
- Can I upload a spreadsheet of recipients?
When to use the post office instead
If you need a USPS-stamped receipt in hand the same day, or a statute or court asks for a specific USPS form you must fill in yourself, go to the counter. For routine notices, online sending saves the trip and keeps every receipt in one place.
