USPS-Registered Mail

Registered Mail provides added protection and security for valuables or important mail. It also provides evidence of mailing and optional proof of delivery. Registered Mail is the most secure service offered by the United States Postal Service.
Registered Mail is separated and does not travel enroute with First Class Mail because of the high degree of security. This extra security can delay mail by 24 to 48 hours over other First Class delivery objectives.

Registered Mail must be taken by the mailer to a post office for acceptance. Because of misunderstandings, this special service is sometimes used by mailers who really do not require such a high level of security. Consequently, registry fees are spent and can inflate postage budgets over a period of time. Registered Mail service is only available if First Class or Priority Mail rates have been paid. Registered Mail should only be used when a replacement or invoice value can be established. Contact Campus Mail Service for more information on Registered Mail.
