Effective July 2015, the Postal Service™ revised the location of the Intelligent Mail® package barcode (IMpb®) on the sender’s address side of the PS Form 3811, Domestic Return Receipt, to improve the visibility of the service. Barcoding the return receipts and linkage to the mailpiece host’s extra service (i.e. Adult Signature Service, Certified Mail, Collect on Delivery (COD), Registered Mail, or Insurance for more than $500) was first introduced May 31, 2015, to allow for end-to-end visibility.
PS Form 3811, Domestic Return Receipt, July 2015, can either be viewed by customers at http://about.usps.com/forms-publications/welcome.htm or ordered online at https://store.usps.com/store/.
For mailers who privately print PS Form 3811, Domestic Return Receipt, the certification process, as stated in DMM 503.1.7.2, must be followed for the revised form. The April 2015 version of the Domestic Return Receipt may continue to be used until supplies are depleted.
