To complete a certified mail label, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Gather the necessary information:
    • The recipient's name and address
    • The sender's name and address (if different from the return address)
    • The weight and dimensions of the item being mailed
    • The type of mail service you want to use (e.g., First-Class Mail, Priority Mail, etc.)
  2. Choose the correct certified mail form:
    • You can use a pre-printed certified mail label or a plain label and fill it out manually.
