How do you send certified mail return receipt requested

To send certified mail with a return receipt requested, you can follow these steps:

Prepare your mail: Make sure you have the correct address and any necessary documentation or forms.
Go to a post office: Take your mail to a post office or a mailbox service center. You can't send certified mail with a return receipt requested online.
Choose the correct service: Inform the postal clerk that you want to send certified mail with a return receipt requested. They will guide you through the process.
Fill out the form: The postal clerk will provide you with a Form 3811, Certificate of Mailing, which you'll need to fill out. This form will serve as proof of mailing and will be used to track the delivery of your mail.
Pay the fee: The cost of certified mail with a return receipt requested is higher than regular certified mail. The fee is currently $4.05 for the first ounce and $0.20 for each additional ounce.
Sign the form: Once you've filled out the form, sign it in the presence of the postal clerk.
Attach the receipt: The postal clerk will provide you with a return receipt card, which you'll need to attach to the outside of the envelope. This card will be signed by the recipient when they receive the mail.
Mail the package: The postal clerk will then mail the package and provide you with a receipt as proof of mailing.

Tips:

Make sure to keep a copy of the Form 3811 for your records.
The return receipt card will be signed by the recipient and returned to you via mail.
If the recipient refuses to sign the return receipt card, it will be returned to you with a notation indicating that the signature was refused.
Certified mail with a return receipt requested is a secure and trackable service, but it's not foolproof. If the mail is lost or damaged, you may need to file a claim with the post office.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your certified mail is delivered to the correct address and that you receive proof of delivery.
