USPS Receipts
- LetterStream does not receive traditional USPS receipts when handing off mail.
- This does not apply to the Electronic Return Receipt (ERR) for certified mail, which is still available as an add-on.
- To provide proof of payment, a live invoice is available for each LetterStream job.
Proof of Mailing and Delivery
If you need evidence that your letter was mailed or delivered, we have a few different ways you can do so.

This data is generally sufficient for legal and documentation purposes.
Postage Visibility
LetterStream uses a postage permit (indicia) instead of traditional stamps or metered postage. Therefore:
- You will not see a dollar amount for postage on the envelope.
- A visible permit replaces traditional postage markings.
