Certified Mail

Certified mail is first class mail that the recipient is required to sign for at the time of delivery. For an extra charge, a return receipt is available that is returned, showing when the article was delivered and who signed for it. Certified slips and return receipts must be filled out in advance by the sender and are available at Mail Services at Aldwyn One (Main Mail Center).
