Certified mail is a way to mail a letter and receive a tracking number that allows you to know when it was delivered.

For an additional fee you may also request a signed delivery slip from the recipient which allows you to prove that they got the letter. This is very helpful when the person is trying to avoid you. The post office makes two attempts and documents notification to that person that they have this letter for them. The third time the post man can't deliver they get a notice that the letter is at the post office waiting for them to pick it up. If the person has a post office box they still get this notice and have to sign for it. You can even request that the person show id to get it.

If the post office is unable to deliver certified mail, it is returned unopened to the original sender, as further proof and record of the attempts to send it.

In many court cases, the mere fact that a person has been sent a certified letter to their last known address is sufficient proof that they have been "officially notified" of whatever was in the letter.
