What is Registered Mail—and when to use it

Registered Mail is the most secure USPS mail service, providing end-to-end tracking, maximum accountability, and optional insurance for high-value or sensitive shipments.

Because of tight security, delivery can take about 10 to 14 days, so plan timing accordingly.

Know the acceptance requirements

Registered Mail is accepted at the Post Office with proof of mailing. You cannot place registered mail items in a collection box. You also need the Registered Mail barcode, PS Label 200, from the clerk at the time of mailing.

Find the best services for you

Combine Registered Mail with Priority Mail, Collect on Delivery, USPS Tracking for packages, Restricted Delivery, Return Receipt, and Signature Confirmation for packages, and choose the options that fit your needs.
