Can you send certified mail as a tracking number

Yes, you can send certified mail with a tracking number. In fact, the United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a service called Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested, which includes a tracking number.

Here's how it works:

1. When you send a certified mail piece, you can request a return receipt, which is a signed receipt that the addressee must sign and return to you.
2. The USPS will provide you with a tracking number, which you can use to track the status of your mail piece online.
3. The tracking number will allow you to see when the mail piece was sent, when it was delivered, and if it was signed for by the addressee.

To send certified mail with a tracking number, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Go to your local post office or visit the USPS website.
2. Fill out a Certified Mail form (PS Form 3800) and attach it to your mail piece.
3. Pay the required fee for certified mail, which currently ranges from $3.95 to $5.95, depending on the weight and size of your mail piece.
4. Request a return receipt, which will add an additional $1.45 to the cost of the certified mail.
5. The USPS will provide you with a tracking number, which you can use to track the status of your mail piece online.

Some benefits of sending certified mail with a tracking number include:

• Proof of delivery: With a return receipt, you'll have proof that the addressee received the mail piece.
• Tracking: You can track the status of your mail piece online, which can help you resolve any issues that may arise.
• Security: Certified mail is more secure than regular mail, as it requires a signature upon delivery.
• Proof of mailing: With a tracking number, you'll have proof of when you mailed the piece, which can be useful in case of disputes or issues.

Keep in mind that certified mail with a tracking number is not the same as registered mail, which requires a higher level of security and tracking.
