Do you put stamps on certified mail

When sending certified mail, you don't need to affix additional stamps to the envelope. Here's why:

  1. Certified Mail is a type of mail service offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that provides proof of mailing and delivery. When you use Certified Mail, the USPS will provide a receipt and a tracking number.
  2. The USPS handles the postage for Certified Mail. When you purchase Certified Mail service, the USPS will affix a special label to the envelope, which includes the postage and a unique tracking number.
  3. The label serves as proof of mailing. The label includes the sender's and recipient's addresses, the date of mailing, and a unique tracking number. This label serves as proof of mailing and can be used to track the delivery status of the mailpiece.

So, to summarize: when sending Certified Mail, you don't need to add additional stamps to the envelope. The USPS will handle the postage and affix a special label that includes the postage and tracking information.
