How to find out who sent a registered letter by notification? How does a registered letter differ from a valuable letter?

One fine (or not so fine) day you may find a notice in your mailbox with the codification “ZK” on it. At the same time, the text of the notice usually does not indicate either information about the sender or what kind of letter it is, but only information about the need to visit the post office and receive the specified correspondence. Who is the sender of this letter, and what is a ZK notice? Let's figure it out.

The “ZK” encoding is used in the postal circulation of Russian Post, and means that the letter is registered. Notices that notify the recipient that there is a registered letter awaiting him at the post office are encoded in a similar manner.

Instead of information about the sender of this letter, a number is usually indicated, and in the worst case, there is no information at all. As for other data available in the notice, there is an address where you can receive the mentioned registered letter, digital and bar codes, as well as several service symbols.

As a rule, such registered letters with ZK notification are sent by various state and municipal authorities. For example, this could be the Pension Fund, courts of various instances, the tax service, the bailiff service and other government agencies.

Also, in some cases, the sender of ZK letters can be legal entities - banks, insurance companies and other commercial organizations.

In most cases, ZK letters are registered letters from state and municipal authorities

From whom did the ZK notification about the registered letter come?

The most pressing question that interests people when they receive a notice with the codification “ZK” is what does the notice mean and who is the sender of the registered letter? It's no secret that some letters are simply useless (for example, various types of advertising mailings), and some letters are not worth receiving at all.

What methods exist for identifying the sender?

In the case of international mail, you can also use the sites track-trace.com (mail DHL, UPS, TNT, Fedex), 17track.net, globaltracktrace.ptc.post and other analogous resources;

What to do if you do not want to receive a letter from the ZK

A ZK letter usually remains in the mail for 7 or 30 days and is then returned to the sender. Registered letters from the court are kept for seven days (according to the appendix to FSUE Order No. 114-p), and all other letters are kept for 30 days.

At the same time, the court, having received its registered letter back, may consider that the recipient of the letter was still properly notified, and therefore may begin (continue) legal proceedings without you.

In some cases, Russian Post postmen completely ignore the existing rules, throwing the reserve into the recipient’s mailbox without any signature. Who signs for receipt and whether the sender is notified of the receipt of this letter is a mystery with several unknowns.

Conclusion

What does ZK mean? The ZK notification letter is usually a standard registered letter sent by state and municipal structures, as well as a number of legal entities. It is recommended to use the Russian Post resource to obtain information about the sender, and then act according to the current situation.

In contact with

Registered mail is a mail item that has an identification number. Using this number, you can monitor the movement of your shipment on the Russian Post website. At each stage of correspondence movement, the identifier is entered into a single database, which is regularly updated.

Registered correspondence is handed over to the addressee or his representative, who has a power of attorney, in person. The addressee must sign the notice or statement upon receipt of the letter. If the recipient is not at home, the postman leaves a notice of registered mail. In this case, the addressee must come to the post office and receive correspondence after presenting his passport.

The weight of registered mail should not exceed 100 grams when sent within Russia or 2 kg when sent abroad. Registered mail can be of two types: simple or 1st class. 1st class items are transported to the delivery point by air, so they reach the recipient much faster. Of course, delivery of 1st class items costs more than regular ones.

Registered letter with notification - what is it?

Often, for registered mail, they choose an additional service such as delivery receipt. This is a document confirming receipt of the letter by the addressee. When sending important papers, it is official proof that the postal item has been delivered to the recipient.

To apply for this service, you need to fill out a special form for notification of delivery of a registered letter, which can be obtained at the post office. The form completed by the sender is sent to the destination along with the letter. After delivery of the correspondence, the recipient signs the notice and it is sent back.

What is allowed to be sent in registered letters?

According to Order 114-p of the Russian Post, only written messages are allowed to be enclosed in any letters, including registered ones. The weight of the item should not exceed 100 grams, and the size should not exceed 229 x 324 mm. Photographs, manuscripts, and printed publications should be sent in the form of a parcel post. For them, the maximum permissible weight is 2 kg.

How to send a registered letter?

To send registered mail, you need to contact any post office. Depending on the size and weight of the letter, you should take an envelope of the required size, indicate the addresses of the recipient and sender on it, and fill out the appropriate forms to receive additional services. The postal employee will calculate the cost of shipping, accept payment and issue a receipt.

Simple custom

If the sender does not need notification of receipt, he can simply send a registered letter without any additional services.

Ordered with notification

To send a registered letter with a notification, you first need to fill out a notification form, give it to the employee along with the letter and indicate what additional services you need.

Ordered with a list of attachments

To forward valuable mail, an additional service is used, such as an inventory of the attachment. It is only available for shipment within Russia. The sender fills out a special form in two copies, where he lists the items or documents being sent, their quantity and declared value. Declared value is the amount that the sender will be able to receive if the registered item is lost or damaged.

The letter is handed over to the postal employee open and sealed after comparing the inventory and contents. One copy of the inventory remains with the sender. The addressee can open such a mail item in the presence of postal workers and check it against the inventory.

If it turns out that the correspondence was not received in full, the post office employee draws up a report. The report is sent to the main post office of the locality, on the basis of which an investigation is carried out within up to two months. Based on the results of the investigation, the recipient will be compensated for the cost of the items not received in accordance with the declared value. If the payment of compensation is delayed or refused to be paid, you can use it.

How much does a registered letter cost?

The cost of sending a registered letter from Russian Post depends on many factors: the weight of the letter, the distance between the points of departure and destination, the class of item, etc. Tariffs for services for the delivery of letters and notifications are posted on the official website of the Russian Post. However, it is not easy to independently calculate the costs of a registered letter, because you need to take into account many nuances.

To find out the approximate cost of a shipment, you can use the postal calculator on the Russian Post website. To do this, the online service specifies where and where the correspondence should be delivered, the weight or number of sheets in the letter, the delivery method, selects the desired additional services and calculates the price.

Delivery times for registered mail

The delivery time of a registered item depends primarily on the distance between the points of departure and destination. The control deadlines for sending written correspondence between cities of regional and regional significance are given in Resolution No. 160 of March 24. 2006. Letters must arrive from the regional or regional center to cities in the territory of subordination in 2 days, from the regional center to other settlements - in 3 days.

FAQ

Since ordinary citizens send registered letters infrequently, they may have questions regarding this type of mail.

What is the difference between a registered letter and a regular letter?

A registered letter differs from a simple letter in that it requires registration. The sender simply places a regular letter in the nearest mailbox. Registered mail is handed over to the postal worker. The employee applies the so-called barcoded postal identifier (SPI) to the registered item and registers it in a unified database. Then he weighs the letter, specifies the delivery method, accepts payment and issues a receipt. Registered mail is delivered to the addressee personally, and the postman places a simple letter in the mailbox with the apartment number.

How to fill out a notification of delivery of a registered letter?

A form for notification of delivery of registered mail can be obtained from the postal worker or printed from the website and filled out in advance to save time. On the front side you should indicate:

• type and category of departure;
• Full name and address of the recipient of the notification of delivery;

On the back of the form indicate:

• type and category of postal item;
• Full name and address of the recipient of the registered letter.

Sending postal correspondence by registered mail with return receipt is a guarantee that the letter will not be lost and will be delivered to the recipient personally, and the sender will be notified of delivery.

Some notices leave citizens with more questions than answers. Recently, user comments about receiving notifications marked ST have become more frequent - we will tell you what this means in this material.

What kind of notices are these?

ST notification – notification of receipt of a registered letter (parcel, parcel post) addressed to the addressee. It is sent by the district post office, obliging the recipient to pick up the letter/parcel as soon as possible.

Sometimes a form with a similar abbreviation may indicate a shipment with cash on delivery, declared value. Most often, the mark only indicates the registered nature of the shipment.

Who might the letters be from?

ST and ZK notifications are sent upon receipt of a letter from government authorities for two-way interaction. This may be indicated by the additional index “DTI” or “Judicial”. Most often, the name of the organization is included in the following list:

1. Law enforcement agencies - the letter informs about a fine, an administrative offense, and describes further actions to peacefully resolve the situation.
2. Military commissariat - a summons to undergo a medical examination, sending to the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
3. Judicial authorities - a summons to a trial, notification of the start/suspension/completion of proceedings on a claim/complaint.
4. Banking structures - indication of existing debt, advantageous offers for opening a new loan, sending a bank card (in case of ordering to a residential address).
5. Tax/Migration services - clarifications on payment of income tax, indication of the need to register new property, questions about the citizenship / location of your loved ones, relatives.

Sometimes an ST notification may arrive after receiving a registered letter from a non-governmental organization, however, in this case, the contents of the letter are not particularly different - the company most likely acts as a mediator in resolving bilateral disagreements.

How to track the movement of an ST letter using tracking?

In order to find out the sender of a letter before visiting the post office, just open any Internet browser and follow simple instructions:

1. We find a convenient resource by searching for “Tracking letters”. We recommend using the following sites - Pochta.Ru, GdePosylka, Track24. These names can also be entered into a search; the list is compiled based on user reviews.
2. We look for an empty field on the main page, accompanied by the caption “Enter the tracking number.”
3. We open the notification form, rewrite the combination of numbers located under the large barcode (in 90% of cases it is located at the top of the sheet).
4. Press Enter / the specially designated icon on the right - wait up to a minute.

In fact, that’s all - if you haven’t made any mistakes, you should see a list of registered letter movements. The first column indicates the sender of the letter, his brief data indicated when transmitting the item.

Important - tracking does not always provide complete data about the letter; in this case, all that remains is to visit your local post office.

How to pick up a letter?

There is nothing special about receiving an ST notification - we just go to the post office with a passport and a notification. On the back side we fill out all the forms (full name, registration, passport details), wait for a free specialist, give him the form. In the case of cash on delivery, the full amount will be indicated at the bottom of the form.

We hope our material left no doubt about what the arrival of an ST notification from the mail means. If you have any additional questions, it is recommended to call directly the Russian Post office in your city or the central information desk at 8-800-1-000-000.

Despite the fact that we live in an age of innovative technologies, mail still remains relevant and in demand. This is especially true when people need to send originals of important documents or other correspondence.

There are two options for sending correspondence or documents - a simple letter or a registered letter; naturally, these methods of sending have many differences. First, you need to consider what each type of letter is. A simple letter is a text message written on paper and packed in an envelope. Such letters are exchanged between people in the process of correspondence, that is, in order to convey certain information to the addressee.

As for registered letters, they can be classified as a separate category of item, since the post office is responsible for the forwarding of such item. Moreover, by sending a registered letter, the sender receives a guarantee that it will be delivered to the recipient safe and sound.

That is, such letters have many differences, but if we talk about the general advantages, then naturally, a registered letter has more advantages. Firstly, as already noted, when sending a registered letter, a person can be sure that it will be delivered, since the postal service undertakes to deliver it directly to the recipient. A registered letter is given to the recipient against signature, since this will be evidence that the addressee received the shipment. As for a simple letter, the postman simply puts it in the mailbox, that is, there is no complete confidence that the addressee will receive the item, since the postal service is not responsible for the delivery of the letter from the mailbox to the recipient.

It is worth noting that sending a registered letter is a more complex process, as some formalities must be observed. It is important to understand that, unlike a simple letter that needs to be dropped in a mailbox, a registered letter can only be sent at a postal company branch. The fact is that a registered letter requires special design, that is, the sender will have to fill out a special form and also decide whether he needs notification of receipt. In addition to all of the above, the main advantage of a registered letter is security, since such a shipment is registered at all points through which it passes. Therefore, even if the letter gets lost, it can be tracked very quickly.

That is, there are many differences between a simple and a registered letter. As already mentioned, registered mail has many advantages, but there is also one drawback - sending registered mail is a paid service. Accordingly, taking into account numerous differences and features, a person can independently choose how exactly to send a letter to him, and which method will be optimal for him.

Instructions

It is necessary to buy an envelope suitable for this type of shipment. The post office will tell you which one to choose. You will need to purchase the appropriate stamps for it.

Then the letter will be weighed and a barcode and stamps will be affixed. When all the necessary procedures have been completed, you will be given a detailed receipt, which will indicate all payments. These include the sender's address, the recipient's address, the weight of the letter, the type of item (for example, 1st, air), date of acceptance of the letter, barcode number, total payment amount, who accepted the letter from you, employee signature. Be sure to check that the receipt is complete.

The receipt must be paid. After this, you will receive a 14-digit code with which you can track the movement of the letter. You can view its location on the official website of the Russian Post.
