Can you send certified mail from automated postal center

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS), you can send certified mail from an Automated Postal Center (APC) or a self-service kiosk, but there are some limitations and requirements to keep in mind:

  1. Certified Mail: You can purchase certified mail services at an APC or self-service kiosk, but you'll need to have the correct postage and a valid mailing address.
  2. Limitations: APCs and self-service kiosks may not have all the features or options available at a traditional post office. For example, you may not be able to print a certified mail receipt or track your package online.
  3. Postage: You'll need to purchase the correct postage for your certified mail piece. APCs and self-service kiosks may not accept cash, so you'll need to use a credit or debit card.
  4. Signature Confirmation: If you want to add Signature Confirmation to your certified mail piece, you'll need to do so at a traditional post office or online.
  5. Tracking: While APCs and self-service kiosks may not offer online tracking, you can still track your certified mail piece using the tracking number provided on the receipt.

To send certified mail from an APC or self-service kiosk:

  1. Go to an APC or self-service kiosk and select the "Certified Mail" option.
  2. Enter the recipient's address and select the type of certified mail service you want (e.g., Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested).
  3. Pay for the postage using a credit or debit card.
  4. Print the certified mail label and attach it to your mail piece.
  5. Sign the receipt and keep it for your records.

Remember to check with your local post office or the USPS website for any specific requirements or restrictions on sending certified mail from an APC or self-service kiosk.
