If no one is home to receive it, the postal worker will leave a note that a delivery attempt was made. USPS only makes one delivery attempt. After that, the carrier returns the letter or package to the nearest post office. You can sign the receipt and have someone else pick up the item for you unless it was sent with restricted delivery.
In that case, the person the certified mail was addressed to must go to the post office and show ID to pick it up. The post office will hold undelivered USPS certified mail for 15 days before returning it to the sender.

Good explanation but It does not provide directions on how to print out Form on line.
I am low tech so maybe I missed it. Thanks for your help help. Hi Frank. You can use this page from the USPS website listed at the bottom of this comment to find the Form and print it out. This is the only identifier you'll get for the sender; USPS will not give you the sender's name until you have signed for your mail.
If you navigate to USPS' "Track and Confirm" web page and enter the tracking number, you'll be able to see the ZIP code of the post office from which the letter was sent. This may give you clues about the seller's identity. When you collect your item, hand over the form the letter carrier left for you, and the post office worker will bring out your mail.
You are not permitted to receive or open the item until you have signed for it. However, USPS rules stipulate that certified mail must bear the return address of the sender in the upper left corner on the front of the envelope. You may be able to read the address and determine the sender's identity before you make a decision about whether to sign for the letter. You don't have to accept certified mail or collect the item from the post office.
USPS will try to deliver the item three times after which it will return it to the sender marked "unclaimed. Fortunately, there are ways you can use that little peach-colored notice to determine the likely sender of the letter. Even if you suspect that the envelope contains bad news, knowing who sent it can help you prepare to deal with the situation.
Certified mail is an add-on service offered by the U. Postal Service. Senders receive proof that they mailed the correspondence, can track an item while in it's transit and receive proof of delivery. For an additional fee, the sender can also request that the person who accepts the mail not necessarily the addressee signs for the item.
The post office then provides proof of the signature to the sender. The purpose of certified mail is twofold: It creates additional security for a package or letter while it is in transit, and it provides senders with proof that they mailed something.
Reasons why a sender might want this kind of proof include:. If the sender of certified mail only requests proof of delivery, the postal carrier will place the letter or package in the recipient's mailbox after scanning the tracking code.
In cases where the sender has asked for signature confirmation, the postal carrier will attempt to find an adult to sign for the delivery. If nobody is available to sign for it, the carrier will leave a slip letting the recipient know how to either retrieve the package from the post office or request another delivery attempt. PS Form is used to notify recipients about all kinds of mail that can't be delivered, so don't assume that every peach-colored slip in your mailbox is for certified mail.
In , the USPS updated its notice-left forms to include a space where the postal carrier can write the sender's name. This should be sufficient for identifying the sender.
