Can I Save Multiple Return Addresses?

Yes — OnlineCertifiedMail allows you to save multiple return addresses in your account, and there is no limit to how many you can store. From that list, you can select which return address you'd like to use per job.

Best Practices for Return Addresses

Only use return addresses you control, such as your:

  • Home address
  • Work address
  • Vacation property
  • Address of a trusted friend or neighbor (only if you have access)

The return address is where the United States Postal Service (USPS) will send your letter if it can’t be delivered to the intended recipient.

Potential Issues with Using Someone Else’s Address

Using another person’s address that you do not have access to can lead to problems:

  • You won’t know if a letter is returned and why.
  • The person at the return address may not understand why the mail came back.
  • They might ignore the mail or not notify you.
  • If you requested a return receipt, the USPS may try to get a signature for the return or leave a pickup notice at that address — which can be confusing or frustrating.
