 Signatures – USPS Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested

USPS Certified Mail Signature Confirmation are made available in a PDF file from the U.S. Postal Service and may be purchased either before or after you mail your USPS Certified letter.  A copy of the Return Receipt Requested Signature is collected even if you do not pay for the Signature at the time of mailing.

USPS sells this Signature Confirmation service in PDF file format. The signature is collected by the letter carrier at the time of letter delivery.  The image is either the recipient’s actual signature or a stamp used to mark the letter delivered.

USPS charges $1.10 for the Signature service if you purchase the service in advance of the mailing.  You can also purchase the Signature service ‘After Mailing’ that costs $4.60.  Even though it costs more, our experience has found most companies only need to provide proof of delivery, and proof of mailing.  The USPS proof of delivery is summarized in the Electronic Return Receipt – ERR that displays the actual Certified Mail article number, date, time, deliver post office and delivery address information.   Should you need a PDF of the Signature, you can purchase it as you need it ‘After the Mailing’.
