Can you send registered mail to a box number

In general, it is not possible to send registered mail to a box number. Here's why:

  1. Box numbers are not a physical address: Box numbers are a way to receive mail and packages at a post office or a mail center, but they are not a physical address that can be used to deliver mail.
  2. Registered mail requires a physical address: Registered mail requires a physical address to be delivered to, which is why it's typically sent to a street address or a PO box (which is a physical mailbox).
  3. Box numbers are not recognized by the postal service: The postal service does not recognize box numbers as a valid address, so they cannot deliver registered mail to a box number.

However, there are a few exceptions and workarounds:

  1. Some post offices may accept registered mail to a box number: In some cases, a post office may accept registered mail to a box number if it's a specific box number that they have a relationship with. However, this is not a standard practice and may vary depending on the post office.
  2. Use a PO box: If you need to send registered mail to a specific location, you can use a PO box (Post Office box) instead of a box number. PO boxes are physical mailboxes that can be rented at a post office, and they have a physical address that can be used to deliver mail.
  3. Use a different shipping method: If you need to send a package to a box number, you may want to consider using a different shipping method, such as certified mail or a courier service, which may be able to deliver to a box number.

In summary, while it's not possible to send registered mail to a box number in general, there may be some exceptions and workarounds depending on the specific situation.
