Advantages of registering Mail. A receipt is given the sender for every piece registered. A second receipt from the addressee or his authorized agent, acknowledging delivery, is returned to the sender in every case, without extra charge. This receipt is, under the law, prima facie evidence of delivery. NOTE. If the article is addressed to a foreign country, no receipt from the addressee is returned to the sender unless the words "Return receipt demanded" are written or stamped across the face of the letter or parcel. In case of loss of a valuable registered letter (or package prepaid at the letter rate), the sender should make application for indemnity to the postmaster at the office where the piece was mailed. Registered mail is deliverable only to the addressee or upon his written order. The sender may, however, restrict delivery to the addressee in person by indorsing upon the envelope or wrapper the words "Deliver to addressee only." The words. "Personal" or "Private" do not so restrict delivery. Persons applying for registered mail, if unknown, will be required to prove their identity. Registered mail will be forwarded upon the written or telegraphic order of the addressee, subject to the usual regulations respecting the prepayment of postage. No additional registry fee is chargeable for forwarding or returning registered matter. Postal Money Orders. — Postal money orders may be obtained at or paid at more than 40,000 money-order offices in the United States, and may be drawn on post offices in more than 50 foreign countries. Orders may be drawn upon the post office at which issued, and are therefore available for local use in settlement of accounts, as well as for remittances to other points in the United States or to foreign countries. Lists of the countries exchanging money orders with the United States are exhibited at post offices transacting international money-order business. Fees. For domestic money orders the charge is from 3 cents to 30 cents, in addition to the amount of the order, and these rates apply to orders payable in Canada, Cuba, Newfoundland, Barbados, and some other British West Indies, the Philippines, Tutuila, and the United States Postal Agency at Shanghai (China); for international money orders the charge is from 8 to 50 cents to some countries, and from 10 cents to $1.00 to others. No single order will be issued for more than $100.00. When a larger sum than $100.00 is to be sent, additional orders may be obtained. Indorsements. More than one indorsement on a money order is prohibited by law. One or more additional names, however, may be written upon the back of orders for the purpose of identification of payee, or guaranty of genuineness of signature of the payee or indorsee. The stamp impressions which banks ordinarily place on money orders left with or sent to them for collection are not regarded as indorsements transferring ownership of the orders or within the meaning of the statute which prohibits more than one indorsement. A domestic money order may be repaid at the office of issue within one year from the last day of the month of its issue.
