certified mail

Delivery with receipt

Certified mail is a postal service that provides proof of mailing and delivery.

The sender receives a receipt when the item is mailed, and the recipient's signature is recorded upon delivery.

It's commonly used for legal documents, contracts, and official correspondence where proof of receipt matters: Send the notice by certified mail so we have documentation.
