N.B. –A certificate is to be given for every letter accepted for registration whether the
party posting the letter applies for one or not. A Postmaster failing to give a certificate
for every such letter incurs a serious responsibility.
Postmasters will please to notice that the above certificate purports to be for a fully
prepaid letter. They should therefore see that the letter is fully prepaid before
accepting it.

50 B.—1,000,000 sheets. 23-9-20.

Points to be noted in connection with Registered Letters or other registered articles.
1. The letter should be fully and precisely addressed in a distinct hand-writing.
In like manner the certificate given therefore by the Post-master should be distinctly
and carefully stamped and numbered.
2. A person posting a registered letter should not leave the Post Office till he has
obtained his certificate of registration.
3. The letter should bear stamps to the full amount of the postage and registration
fee. The send should attend to the due pre-payment of his letter himself.
A Postmaster is only responsible for doing what it is his duty to do, and it is not his
duty to place stamps on letters for other people.
4. The letter should be in good order when handed to the Post-master,
that is it should be enclosed in a suitable envelope carefully sealed with wax or gum.
5. Letters for registration should be brought to the Post Office some time before
the mail closes.
6. Persons receiving registered letters that call for acknowledgement would
frequently save trouble to themselves, to their correspondents and to the Post Office
by acknowledging them promptly.
