Help CenterLegal and regulatory requirements
Government entities are often required by law to send important documents through Certified Mail. For example, under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and other Federal Rules, the use of Certified Mail with Return Receipt is one of the authorized ways to serve documents related to taxes, property liens, and court summonses, to ensure that they are delivered and received by the intended recipient. This requirement helps to protect the legal rights of both the government and the recipient.
Accountability
Government entities are accountable to the public for their actions and decisions. Certified Mail® provides a clear record of the acceptance, delivery, and receipt of important documents, which helps to ensure transparency and accountability. This is particularly important for documents related to public services, such as permits, licenses, and zoning changes. It’s also important for time-sensitive documents such as court summonses and election materials.
Security and confidentiality
Some government documents contain sensitive information that must be protected. Certified Mail® provides an added layer of security and confidentiality by requiring a signature from the recipient upon delivery.
