Do australia post document registered mail

Yes, Australia Post does offer a registered mail service. Registered Mail is a secure and trackable mail service that provides proof of delivery and compensation up to $5,000 in case the item is lost, damaged, or stolen.

Here are some key features of Australia Post's Registered Mail service:

  1. Tracking: Registered Mail items are tracked and can be monitored online.
  2. Proof of Delivery: The recipient must sign for the item upon delivery, providing proof of delivery.
  3. Compensation: In the event the item is lost, damaged, or stolen, the sender can claim compensation up to $5,000.
  4. Insurance: Registered Mail items are insured against loss, damage, or theft.
  5. Signature on Delivery: The recipient must sign for the item upon delivery, providing proof of delivery.

To send a registered mail item, you'll need to:

  1. Take your item to a post office or use a self-service kiosk.
  2. Fill out a Registered Mail form, which includes the sender's and recipient's details, as well as a description of the item.
  3. Attach the completed form to the item.
  4. Pay the applicable fee, which varies depending on the weight and size of the item.

The cost of Registered Mail varies depending on the weight and size of the item. You can check the current rates on the Australia Post website.

It's worth noting that Registered Mail is not the same as Express Post, which is a faster and more expensive service that provides tracking and insurance, but does not require a signature on delivery.
