Customers may use registered mail service for additional protection and security in dispatch and conveyance in the United States. For each registered item a mailing receipt is issued by the office of mailing and a record of delivery is maintained at the office of destination. Indemnity limits are much lower for registered mail than for insured mail. In the United States registered mail items are handled separately from all other mail and are kept in a secure area with restricted access. In destination countries registered mail items are handled according to their own internal procedures.
