PS Forms 3813 and 3813P are used for which purpose?

• A. Domestic Return Receipt up to $200.
• B. Domestic Insured Mail Receipt up to $200; 3813P for amounts over $200.
• C. Certified Mail documentation.
• D. Postage due verification.

Answer: (B)

These forms are used to obtain a return receipt for insured mail, giving you proof of delivery. The standard form covers insured values up to $200; for insured mail valued over $200, you would use the 3813P. You attach the form when mailing, the recipient signs for delivery, and the returned receipt (the card or electronic notice) goes back to you as confirmation. This service is specifically about documenting insured shipments, and it’s separate from certified mail documentation or postage-due verification.
