Affidavit of Mailing

Getting Started

An Affidavit of Mailing can serve as formal proof that a document was mailed. While often not required—especially for Certified Mail with USPS tracking—LetterStream offers this service when needed. This guide outlines qualifications, requirements, pricing, and delivery details.

What Is an Affidavit of Mailing?

While your LetterStream account includes various ways to verify mailings (such as mailing history and recipient proofs), an Affidavit of Mailing provides a formal, written statement attesting that a mailing occurred.

Note: If your document was sent via USPS Certified Mail, tracking and signature data often suffice and an affidavit may not be necessary.

Eligibility Requirements

If you require an Affidavit of Mailing, reach out to LetterStream Support to request one. Allow 10 business days for processing after approval, or 5 business days with an expedite fee.

We cannot provide an affidavit if:

Your account has the document purge option enabled.
Your account is disabled.
The request comes from someone who is not the job creator or an account administrator.
Other factors, such as length of time since mailing or if the job lacks sufficient data for verification.

Payment will be added to your LetterStream account and must be completed before the affidavit is released.
