How to track franked mail

Tracking franked mail, also known as certified mail, is a process that allows you to verify the delivery of a mailpiece and obtain proof of delivery. Here are the steps to track franked mail:

Method 1: Use the USPS Tracking Number

1. When you send a franked mailpiece, the post office will provide you with a tracking number.
2. You can use this tracking number to track the status of your mailpiece on the USPS website or through the USPS mobile app.
3. Simply enter the tracking number on the USPS website or mobile app, and you'll be able to see the current status of your mailpiece, including its location and any delivery updates.

Method 2: Use the USPS Informed Delivery Service

1. The USPS Informed Delivery service allows you to receive digital images of your mailpieces, including franked mail, before they're delivered.
2. You can sign up for Informed Delivery on the USPS website or through the USPS mobile app.
3. Once you've signed up, you'll receive daily emails with digital images of your mailpieces, including franked mail.
4. You can use the tracking number on the digital image to track the status of your mailpiece.

Method 3: Contact the USPS

1. If you don't have a tracking number or prefer to track your mailpiece by phone, you can contact the USPS customer service number.
2. Provide the USPS representative with the mailing address and the date you sent the mailpiece.
3. They can look up the status of your mailpiece and provide you with updates on its delivery.

Tips

• Make sure to keep a record of the tracking number and the mailing address to track your franked mail.
• If you're sending a large quantity of mailpieces, you may want to consider using a bulk tracking service to track all of your mailpieces at once.
• Franked mail is typically more expensive than regular mail, but it provides additional security and tracking features.

By following these steps, you can easily track your franked mail and ensure that it's delivered to its intended recipient.
