PS Form 3811 is used for which service?

• A. Certified Mail receipt
• B. Return Receipt
• C. Signature Confirmation
• D. Insured Mail receipt

Answer: (B)

PS Form 3811 is used to request a Return Receipt, which provides proof of delivery for mail. When you choose Return Receipt, you want a record back that shows the item was delivered and who received it, often including the recipient’s signature and the delivery date. The form accompanies the mail piece to initiate this service, and after delivery, a Return Receipt card (or electronic notice) is returned to you with the delivery details. This is different from a simple Certified Mail receipt, which only confirms you sent the item, or from Signature Confirmation, which focuses on capturing the recipient’s signature for delivery without a separate Return Receipt, and from Insured Mail, which centers on insurance coverage rather than proof of delivery.
