How to send a registered letter online from home in france

THE POSTAL SERVICE CAN PRINT AND SEND THEM FOR YOU Registered post is required for a wide variety of official communication in France and now you can send these letters from home without

going to the post office. Letters to banks, insurers and official bodies usually have to be sent by registered post, or a _lettre recommandée avec accusé de réception_. Registered post

frequently yields better results than ordinary letters when contacting other bodies as well, whether it is for filing a complaint, demanding a refund or giving notice. Whereas previously you

had to go to the post office to send a registered letter, now you can also do it online. Not only does this have the same legal standing in France as traditional registered post but it

saves you a trip and also offers new possibilities. With online registered post, you can upload a letter months in advance, which can come in handy for changing your insurance provider, for

instance, as insurers often require you to send them notice of this in the month preceding your contract’s automatic renewal. There are also 239 model letters available on the LA POSTE

WEBSITE complete with a drop down menu to select the indispensable French sign off phrase, _la formule de politesse_. These models are free for private and administrative use, and include

pre written letters for: * Ending insurance contracts * Changing energy providers * Closing a bank account * Contesting a tax statement * Demanding that an owners’ association or coproprieté

carries out building work NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY USE THE ONLINE REGISTERED POST TO SEND LETTERS WITHIN FRANCE READ MORE: HOW TO SEND A PARCEL FROM YOUR OWN LETTERBOX IN FRANCE HOW TO SEND A
