return receipt

Proof of delivery

A return receipt is a postal service feature that provides proof a piece of mail was delivered to the intended recipient.

The recipient signs a card or electronic form upon delivery, which is then sent back to the sender as confirmation.

I sent the contract via certified mail with return receipt requested.

Return receipts are commonly used for legal documents, important business correspondence, or any situation where documented proof of delivery may be needed.
