Registered Mail - definitions

Registered Mail - A service by which, through a system of receipts, the USPS monitors the movement of the mailpiece from the point of acceptance by the USPS to delivery. The sender receives a receipt at the time of mailing, and a delivery record is kept at the post office of address. This service also provides optional indemnity in case of loss or damage. Registered mail is the most secure service offered by the USPS. (Compare to certified mail and insured mail.)
