Can i get a certificate of mailing for certified mail

Yes, you can get a certificate of mailing for certified mail. When you send a letter or package via certified mail, the post office provides you with a receipt that serves as proof of mailing. This receipt is often referred to as a "certificate of mailing."

Here's how to get a certificate of mailing for certified mail:

  1. When you send a certified mail piece, the post office will provide you with a receipt that includes the following information:
    • The date and time of mailing
    • The recipient's address
    • The weight and size of the mail piece
    • The tracking number (also known as the "tracking label" or " barcode")
  2. The receipt will also include a section for the sender's signature, which serves as proof that the mail piece was mailed.
  3. Keep the receipt in a safe place, as it serves as proof of mailing and can be used to track the delivery of the mail piece.

You can also request a certified mail receipt online through the USPS website. Here's how:

  1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com)
  2. Click on "Track & Confirm" at the top of the page
  3. Enter the tracking number (also known as the "tracking label" or "barcode") for your certified mail piece
  4. Click on "Track" to view the tracking information
  5. Click on "Print Receipt" to print a copy of the receipt

Note that the certificate of mailing is not the same as a delivery confirmation receipt, which is provided when the mail piece is delivered to the recipient. The certificate of mailing is proof of mailing, while the delivery confirmation receipt is proof of delivery.
