What to Check

When checking certified mail, you can verify the following information:

• The signature: Is the signature of the recipient available?
• The tracking history: Can you see a record of the mail's journey, including any attempts to deliver it?

Tips

• Make sure to keep a record of the certification number, as you will need it to track the mail.
• Certified mail is typically tracked and recorded by the USPS, so you can use the tracking number to check its status.
• If you are concerned about the delivery of certified mail, you can consider using additional services, such as signature confirmation or return receipt requested.
