Mail documents

You want to send documents through the mail! Here are the general steps to follow:

Preparation

  1. Organize your documents: Gather all the documents you want to send and organize them in a logical order.
  2. Make photocopies: Make photocopies of the original documents, if necessary, to ensure you have a backup in case the originals get lost or damaged.
  3. Check the documents: Review the documents to ensure they are complete, accurate, and legible.

Choosing a Mail Service

  1. USPS (United States Postal Service): The USPS is a popular choice for sending documents, especially for domestic mail. You can use their website or visit a local post office to send your documents.
  2. Private courier services: Companies like FedEx, UPS, and DHL offer expedited shipping services for documents. These services are often more expensive than USPS but provide faster delivery times.

Preparing the Documents for Mail

  1. Fold and enclose: Fold the documents and place them in an envelope or package.
  2. Address the envelope: Write the recipient's address on the envelope, including their name, street address, city, state, and zip code.
  3. Add postage: Affix the correct postage to the envelope or package.

Sending the Documents

  1. Drop off at a post office: Take the envelope or package to a USPS post office or a private courier service location.
  2. Use a mailbox: If you have a mailbox, you can deposit the envelope or package in it.
  3. Schedule a pickup: Some courier services offer pickup services, where they will collect the documents from your location.

Tracking and Confirmation

  1. Track your package: Use the tracking number provided by the mail service to track the status of your package.
  2. Confirm delivery: Once the package is delivered, confirm with the recipient that they have received the documents.

Remember to follow any specific guidelines or regulations for sending documents, such as those related to confidentiality, security, or special handling requirements.
