I just picked up a piece of Certified mail that was placed in my mailbox. I thought I had to sign

for it. It is not Registered mail because I looked it up and the attachments say "Certified mail"

Anyone know if the mailman just didn't understand or didn't care. I'm not mad; it's just that I have never experienced this before.

1. there are two options for cert mail....

certified delivery and certified return receipt....

Only return receipt needs to be signed for.

But my memory is dusty wrt snail mail.

2. It has a place for my signature though. "Compete this section on delivery" Maybe they are new.

4. My hazy memory is telling me both have lines for signatures but there is also a little box that

has to be checked for "signature required." I could also be wrong, so.....?

3. If I recall correctly, certified mail gets scanned when the mail man put

It in your mailbox. The sender didn't request a return receipt. But the sender knows it was delivered to your address.
