Registered letter

A safe and convenient way to send a letter.

A registered letter is a recorded postal shipment for which You receive a receipt — it confirms that the item has been handed in at a postal service point. The recipient receives the item against a signature or another confirmation in the system that records the delivery details and proves that the shipment has been delivered.

A Standard+ shipment receives a tracking number, allowing You to follow its journey from hand-in to delivery.

You can also add Additional services to these shipments.

Insured letter

The safest way to send important documents and notices.

An insured letter is a registered postal shipment whose contents are insured for the declared value against loss, damage, or theft.

For every insured letter, You receive a receipt confirming that the shipment was handed in at the Post office.

Just like registered letters, insured letters are delivered against a signature, and You can track them online using the shipment number.

You can also add Additional services to insured letters.
