What happens if you don't sign for delivery of a certified letter?

Certified Mail is a special service started in 1955 by the US Postal Service that gives the sender proof of mailing and delivery. If the intended receiver does not sign the receipt of deliver, then he will not receive that letter. Any person can sign for the letter, so if the intended receiver is not at home, or not available to pick it up at the post office, someone else can do it for him, as long as they sign the reciept taking responsibility for the letter.


What is the purpose of sending a certified letter?

When you send a certified letter, the person receiving it has to sign a receipt acknowledging it was delivered and received. The receipt (or a copy) is sent to the person who mailed it to prove that the letter was delivered and received. This eliminates the excuse "I never received it" - especially in legal matters.


How do you know who sent you certified mail?

Certified mail requires you to sign for the mail. To know who sent the certified mail, you usually need to sign for it but the sender's name is typically listed on the green card attached to the mail. You can ask to look at the card before signing and if you miss the delivery, you can look at the slip the mail carrier leaves for you that lets you know you had a certified letter or package.


What is the best way to type a certified letter?

For clarification, you don't type a certified letter. A letter becomes certified when you send it by USPS certified mail. This is a great way to send important documents, legal paperwork and so on, as it provides a paper trail showing when a letter was sent and when it was received.

No. If the landlord is sending a certified letter for specific person than only that specific person or authorized representative, such as someone living in the same household, may sign for that letter. If it is sent out then signed by the same person this could be a federal offense.

Should you sign for certified mail from a sender you don't know?

This is not as simple a question as it seems. If the person the letter is addressed to does not live there and you have never heard of them, it would be both improper and illegal for you to receive and sign for mail to be delivered to them. On the other hand - if the person IS known to you and has some connection with the address, even though they may not legally reside there, you can accept the mail PROVIDING that you notify them of its arrival. Be sure you sign for it in YOUR OWN name.
