Sending important documents? You've likely encountered 'registered mail' and 'certified mail,' but understanding their differences is crucial. Both offer proof of mailing, but their levels of security and tracking vary.
**Certified Mail:** Provides proof that an item was mailed. You receive a mailing receipt, and USPS keeps a record of delivery (or attempted delivery). It's great for situations where you need confirmation that something was sent.
**Registered Mail:** Offers the highest level of security for valuable or irreplaceable items. Each piece is tracked meticulously throughout its journey, and it requires a signature at each transfer point. Registered mail also offers insurance coverage for loss or damage.
**Which to choose?** Certified mail is suitable for things like legal notices or tax documents where proof of mailing is key. Registered mail is best for valuables like jewelry, important documents, or anything that requires maximum security and peace of mind. Choose wisely!
