PS Forms 3813 and 3813P are used for which purpose?

• A. Domestic Return Receipt up to $200.
• B. Domestic Insured Mail Receipt up to $200; 3813P for amounts over $200.
• C. Certified Mail documentation.
• D. Postage due verification.

Answer: (B)

The essential idea is that these forms are the insured mail receipts used for domestic shipments. They provide proof of insurance on mail and help establish the insured value so a claim can be filed if something happens to the item. Use the standard form for insured mail up to 200 dollars; if the insured value exceeds 200 dollars, you would use the version designed for higher amounts. This separation ensures the right receipt is matched to the amount of insurance purchased. They’re specifically about insurance documentation, not about certified mail documentation or postage due verification, which involve different forms and procedures.
