How to get your certified mail return receipt

Every letter we mail includes the USPS electronic return receipt. USPS keeps it with the tracking number and emails it to anyone who asks with that number, usually within a day of delivery.

  1. Open your order page (the link from your checkout) and copy the tracking number. It starts with 92.
  2. Go to USPS Tracking and enter the number, or use the "Track on usps.com" button on your order page.
  3. Once it says Delivered, open the Return Receipt Email section, enter your name and email address, and submit.
  4. USPS emails you a PDF showing the delivery date and address and the signature of the person who accepted it. Save it with your copy of the letter.

If there's no signature yet

  • Still in transit: the receipt only exists after delivery. Your order page shows the expected date.
  • Notice left: the recipient wasn't available. USPS holds it at the post office for pickup; tracking shows the attempt.
  • Unclaimed or refused: it comes back to your return address, and the tracking history records it.
