Check on certified mail

Certified Mail is a type of mail service offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that provides proof of mailing and delivery. Here's how to check on certified mail:

Checking Certified Mail Status

You can also check the status of certified mail by:

2. Visiting your local post office and providing the certified mail number to the postal clerk.

What to Expect

When you send certified mail, you'll receive a receipt with a tracking number. This number allows you to track the status of your mail as it moves through the postal system. You can expect to see the following status updates:

• "Processed" - The mail has been received by the USPS and is being processed.
• "Out for Delivery" - The mail is being delivered to the recipient.
• "Delivered" - The mail has been delivered to the recipient.
• "Return to Sender" - The mail was not delivered and has been returned to the sender.

Tips

• Make sure to keep a record of the certified mail number and the date you sent the mail.
• If you're sending certified mail to a business, make sure to include the correct business name and address.
• If you're sending certified mail to a residential address, make sure to include the correct name and address.
