Article number certified mail

You're referring to the Article Number on a Certified Mail label!

The Article Number, also known as the Tracking Number, is a unique 22-digit code assigned to each Certified Mail piece by the United States Postal Service (USPS). This number is used to track the delivery status of the mail piece and to verify that it was delivered to the correct address.

Here's what you can do with the Article Number:

  1. Track the delivery status: You can use the Article Number to track the delivery status of your Certified Mail piece on the USPS website or through the USPS Mobile App.
  2. Verify delivery: The Article Number can be used to verify that the mail piece was delivered to the correct address and to obtain a signature confirmation.
  3. Request a refund or replacement: If the mail piece is lost, damaged, or not delivered, you can use the Article Number to request a refund or replacement from the USPS.

To find the Article Number on a Certified Mail label:

  1. Look for the label on the outside of the envelope or package.
  2. The Article Number is usually printed in the top-right corner of the label, in a format like "9400 1234 5678 9012".
  3. Make sure to keep the Article Number safe, as you'll need it to track the delivery status and verify delivery.

Remember, the Article Number is a critical part of the Certified Mail process, and it helps ensure that your mail piece is delivered safely and efficiently.
