United states postal service certified mail forms

The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers several types of certified mail forms to help you track and prove delivery of your mail. Here are some of the most common certified mail forms:

1. PS Form 3800: Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested: This is the most commonly used certified mail form. It provides proof of mailing and delivery, and also requests a return receipt from the addressee.
2. PS Form 3811: Certified Mail, Restricted Delivery: This form is used when you want to ensure that the mail is delivered only to the addressee and not to anyone else.
3. PS Form 3814: Certified Mail, Return Receipt: This form is used when you only want to request a return receipt from the addressee, without requesting restricted delivery.
4. PS Form 3817: Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, Restricted Delivery: This form combines the features of PS Form 3800 and PS Form 3811, requesting both a return receipt and restricted delivery.
