USPS Certified Mail Forms PS-3800
USPS Certified Mail Forms are available at the Post Office free. However because of the increasing volume of USPS Certified Mail is at an all time high many companies prefer to ’automate the process of sending a USPS Certified letters.
The traditional Certified Mail forms available from any Post Office includes USPS forms PS-3800 and forms PS-3811 the Domestic Return Receipt (Green Card) that is to be completed and affixed to each Certified Mail letter. The sender can hand print the address of the recipient and your return address on both USPS cards then apply the sticker of the Certified Mail tracking number onto both copies. The USPS forms are then affixed to the outside of the envelope and proper postage is placed on the envelope $5.54.
A semi-automated laser form allows you to use software to address then print a label. The process was nicknamed ‘peal and stick’ because each label has to be carefully pealed from the adhesive then stuck on to each envelope. This process is very time consuming and requires human labor to properly affix the forms, and match up the tracking codes then file the return receipt green cards. On average, one person can complete 6 letters per hour using this type of process.
