For Certified Mail, insured mail (more than $200), and Registered Mail service, there is a return receipt fee for every record. This fee is in addition to postage and must be paid at the time of mailing or at the time of record compilation. For the current fee, see the rates and fees section in the DMM, or visit www.usps.com/rates and then click on Extra Services and then on Return Receipt — the applicable return receipt fee is the one titled “requested at time of mailing (receive electronically).”
Note: The party who receives the records is responsible for making payments to the Postal Service. If a mail owner receives the records, then the mail owner is responsible for making payments; if a mail owner chooses to use a third-party designee, then the third-party designee is responsible for making payments.
