2. For proper mailing, place labels as follows.
3. Peel the thin white strip from the top of the Certified mail form and place it in box 2 on the Return Receipt.
4. For small envelopes, peel and place the Certified Mail Form at the top center of the envelope. Make sure to leave a 3.5 inch space at the top right corner for postage to be placed.
5. Fill out the Certified Mail form with the delivery address.

• It’s very important to write in your school or department name inside the box titled “Official Use” using no initials.

6. Next, address the front side of the return receipt with the recipient’s name and address in box 1.
7. In Box 3, only check Certified mail.
8. Next, address the backside of the return receipt with the return address.

• This will be mailed to the return address as a receipt after your certified mail has been delivered and signed by the recipient.

9. Now, peel and place the return receipt on the backside of the envelope. And that’s it.
10. For proper placement on large envelopes or packages, fill out the forms and the place the labels exactly the same way with one change in placement of the Return Receipt.
11. Place the certified mail form at the top center with the Return Receipt directly below it.
12. Here’s some examples of proper placement. Don’t have your certified mail sent back to you for incorrect label placement.
