Best Answer

Certified mail is mail that is designed to ensure it gets to its proper recipient. Generally when someone sends a certified letter, he wants to ensure that it gets to the recipient and a receipt signed by the recipient at the time the letter was delivered is sent back to the sender, giving the sender a record that such mail has been delivered.
