Is certified mail tracked

Yes, certified mail is tracked by the United States Postal Service (USPS). When you send a certified mail piece, the USPS provides a tracking number, also known as a tracking label, which allows you to track the status of your mail piece.

Here's how it works:

1. When you send a certified mail piece, the USPS assigns a tracking number to the package.
2. The tracking number is printed on the certified mail receipt and on the package itself.
3. The USPS updates the tracking information in real-time as the package moves through the mail stream.
4. You can use the tracking number to track the status of your certified mail piece online or by contacting the USPS.

You can track your certified mail piece using the USPS website or mobile app. Here's how:

1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com) and click on "Track & Confirm" at the top of the page.
2. Enter the tracking number in the "Track a Package" box and click "Track".
3. You can also use the USPS mobile app to track your certified mail piece.

The USPS provides the following tracking information for certified mail pieces:

• Delivery confirmation: The USPS confirms delivery of the package to the recipient.
• Signature confirmation: The USPS requires the recipient to sign for the package.
• Delivery status: The USPS updates the status of the package as it moves through the mail stream.

Keep in mind that certified mail is not the same as tracking, although it does provide some tracking information. Certified mail is a type of mail that requires a signature upon delivery and provides proof of delivery, but it does not provide real-time tracking updates.
