Sending correspondence by registered mail is carried out when it is necessary to send important documents, securities, various certificates and forms. The cost of such a mail is higher than usual, but there are certain guarantees that the addressee will definitely receive it.
What is a registered letter
A registered letter is a correspondence that is sent after processing documents confirming the responsibility of the postal service for the delivery and safety of contents. If the correspondence is lost or damaged, the employees who allowed this will be punished accordingly and will be obliged to compensate the damage to the sender or addressee.
Payment for sending registered mail is charged from the sender in accordance with the tariffs established by mail. The amount of payment depends on the weight and size of the shipment, the distance to the region where it will be delivered and the method of delivery. Air departures will cost a little more than those delivered by land.
Order of storage and delivery of a registered letter
Upon receipt of a registered letter at the post office serving the area or settlement where the addressee lives, employees fill out a notice of the established form and pass it on to the recipient. The notice is delivered to the address indicated by the sender and is placed in the mailbox.
After receiving a notice of receipt of registered mail addressed to him, the addressee is obliged to appear at the post office with a document confirming his identity and a note on the place of registration.
Registered mail can be stored at the post office for up to 30 days. Letters marked "judicial" are stored for no more than 7 days, and then they must be returned to the sender with the note "the addressee did not appear to receive the letter."
In order for the letter to be delivered to the dispatch address, it must be marked "hand in person to the addressee, " and the courier or postman should notify him only if he is not in place.
