USPS Return Receipt

How Does Return Receipt Work?

Return Receipt is purchased at the time of mailing, and customers can purchase a physical return receipt or an electronic receipt. Once purchased, the USPS will return either a physical return receipt or an electronic receipt with the recipient’s signature once the mailpiece has been delivered.

If you need to prove that a particular mailpiece has been delivered, you can use the receipt to show when your mailpiece reached its destination.

To use Return Receipt, the USPS requires a special form which can be obtained at the Post Office™ or from the Stamps.com store. These forms can be filled out by hand. Alternatively, Stamps.com also offers special certified mail labels that can be automatically filled out by Stamps.com’s software.
