A registered letter differs from a simple one in that it is assigned an identification number by which you can track its movement to the addressee. This number is fixed at each post office where the envelope arrives. In the event of a lost letter, you can always find out at what stage the loss occurred.

Instruction manual
1
To send a registered letter, you must contact any branch of the Russian Post. There, in a special window, you can arrange this shipment.
2
In order for the registered letter to be accepted, present the passport to the post office employee. Its data is entered into the database, and if the envelope does not reach the addressee, it will be returned to the sender. In addition to the general passport, the following are accepted as identification: - military ID;
- international passport;
- certificate of a member of the Council of the Federation or of a Deputy of the State Duma;
- residence;
- a national passport or identity card with a visa stamp of the Russian Federation.

Depending on how important documents you need to send, choose the type of envelope. They are ordinary, from thin paper, from cardboard and envelopes of increased strength. Envelope sizes are very different, suitable for any shipment.
4
The envelope indicates the exact address of the recipient with the index, his last name, first name and patronymic. The name of the company is necessary if the letter is sent to the office. The items "return address" and "full name of the sender" are required. All information is written in clear, clear handwriting. Best of all - in block letters.
5
In the upper right corner of the letter you need to stick the desired number of stamps. Check their number with the postal staff. The cost of sending depends on the range and urgency of the shipment.
6
An employee of the post office will pack the documents prepared for sending in an envelope. Then the letter is assigned an identification number, and it is entered in the base of registered items.
7
If it is necessary that the registered letter was handed to the recipient personally, this must be indicated on the envelope. Otherwise, the addressee will simply receive a notification that correspondence awaits him at the post office.
8
Any other person who received a power of attorney in the prescribed manner can also receive a registered letter.
Useful advice
You cannot throw a registered letter into a regular mailbox. It must be handed over personally to the employee of the post office.
