Certified Mail with Electronic Return Receipt
$10.95 all-in: printing, envelope, and USPS postage included
Certified Mail is the USPS service people rely on when a letter has to count: it gives you proof that you mailed the letter and, with the Electronic Return Receipt, proof that the recipient received it. Landlords, insurers, employers, courts, and government agencies all recognize it.
With Certified Mail Online, you skip the post office entirely. Write your letter on the site or upload a PDF, enter the addresses, and confirm. We print it, seal it, and hand it to USPS as genuine Certified Mail. Everything, including the Electronic Return Receipt, is included in one price: $10.95.
Once delivered, USPS captures the recipient's signature. That signature record lands in your account automatically, ready to download whenever you need it, for 3 years.
When to use it
Lease terminations and tenant notices
Prove to your landlord, or your tenant, that the notice was sent on time and received.
Contract and subscription cancellations
Gyms, insurers, service providers: a signed receipt ends any argument about whether your cancellation arrived.
Demand letters and disputes
Before small claims court or during a dispute, Certified Mail shows you acted in good faith and on the record.
IRS and government correspondence
Deadline-sensitive filings and responses where the mailing date itself is the evidence.
What is included in the price
- Printing of your letter, up to 11 pages per envelope (double-sided; longer documents are sent as up to 3 separate letters), envelope and USPS postage
- USPS Certified Mail tracking, followed from your account
- Electronic Return Receipt (ERR): the recipient's signature record
- Proof of mailing, stored with all other proofs for 3 years

Delivery times
USPS typically delivers Certified Mail within 3 to 5 business days. Orders confirmed before 2:00 PM ET on a business day are printed and handed to USPS the same day; later orders go out the next business day.
You can follow every scan from your account, and you receive an email when the letter is delivered and when the signed Electronic Return Receipt is available.
