Do you get a tracking number with certified mail
Yes, when you send a letter or package via Certified Mail, you will receive a tracking number, also known as a tracking label or a tracking code. This tracking number allows you to track the status of your mail or package as it moves through the postal system.
When you use Certified Mail, the postal service will provide you with a unique tracking number, which is printed on the Certified Mail label. This label is attached to the outside of the envelope or package and serves as proof of mailing.
With the tracking number, you can:
- Track the status of your mail or package: You can use the tracking number to check the status of your mail or package on the postal service's website or through their mobile app.
- Verify delivery: You can use the tracking number to confirm whether your mail or package has been delivered to the intended recipient.
- Resolve issues: If there are any issues with delivery, such as a lost or undeliverable package, you can use the tracking number to investigate and resolve the issue.
Some examples of tracking numbers used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) include:
- USPS Tracking Number (e.g., 9400 1234 5678 9012)
- Certified Mail Number (e.g., 9407 1234 5678 9012)
- Priority Mail Tracking Number (e.g., 9400 1234 5678 9012)
Keep in mind that not all types of mail or packages receive a tracking number. For example, regular first-class mail does not typically receive a tracking number. However, most types of mail and packages that require a signature upon delivery, such as Certified Mail, Priority Mail, and Express Mail, will receive a tracking number.
