Certified mail tracking us postal service
The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a certified mail tracking service that allows you to track the status of your certified mail piece. Here's how it works:
What is Certified Mail?
Certified Mail is a type of mail service offered by the USPS that provides proof of mailing and delivery. When you send a certified mail piece, the USPS will provide you with a receipt that serves as proof of mailing. The recipient will also sign for the mail piece when it is delivered, providing proof of delivery.

To track your certified mail piece, you can use the USPS website or the USPS Mobile App. Here's how:
- USPS Website:

- Click on "Track & Confirm" at the top of the page.
- Enter your certified mail tracking number (also known as the "tracking number" or "barcode") in the "Track a Package" field.
- Click "Track" to view the status of your certified mail piece.
- USPS Mobile App:

With certified mail tracking, you can track the following information:
- Mailing date and time
- Delivery date and time
