What is Registered Mail?
Registered Mail is a secure and trackable mail service offered by Australia Post. It's designed for sending valuable, important, or sensitive items that require proof of delivery and insurance.
Key Features:
- Tracking: Registered Mail items are tracked from the time they're posted until they're delivered.
- Proof of Delivery: The recipient must sign for the item upon delivery, providing proof of delivery.
- Insurance: Registered Mail items are insured against loss, damage, or theft, up to a certain value (see below).
- Signature on Delivery: The recipient must sign for the item upon delivery, which provides proof of delivery and helps prevent unauthorized access.
- Secure Packaging: Registered Mail items are packaged in a secure envelope or box to prevent tampering.
Insurance Coverage:
The insurance coverage for Registered Mail items varies depending on the value of the item:
- Up to $100: Free insurance coverage
- $101-$500: Additional insurance fee applies (starts at $2.50)
- $501-$1,000: Additional insurance fee applies (starts at $5.00)

How to Send Registered Mail:
To send a Registered Mail item, you'll need to:
- Take your item to a post office or use a post office box.
- Fill out a Registered Mail form (available at post offices or online).
- Attach the completed form to the outside of the envelope or package.
- Pay the postage and any additional insurance fees.
- Hand the item to the postal staff, who will then process and dispatch it.
Tips and Reminders:
- Make sure to use the correct postage and complete the Registered Mail form accurately.
- Keep a copy of the form and the tracking number for your records.
- If you're sending a valuable or sensitive item, consider using a secure packaging option, such as a tamper-evident envelope or box.
- Registered Mail items may take longer to deliver than regular mail, so plan accordingly.
