When should a company choose LRAR?
A company uploads one PDF per recipient. We print it in France and La Poste delivers it as recommandé, against a signature, in 2 to 3 business days. LRAR adds a signed, dated acknowledgement of receipt and is open to senders with an address in France. The price is shown before you pay.
Recommandé for every sender, LRAR for French addresses
Recommandé gives a tracking ID, proof of posting and delivery against a signature, wherever the company sits. LRAR adds the signed acknowledgement that some French rules name, such as a tenant's notice under article 15 of law 89-462. LRAR is open when the sender address on the letter is in France, for example a French branch.
Formal notice and contracts
Under article 1344 of the Civil Code, a debtor is put on notice by a demand that calls on them clearly enough. Companies often send a mise en demeure by registered mail so they can show it was sent and received. Insurance can be cancelled by letter or another durable medium (article L113-14 of the insurance code).
Custom credit or subscription
Teams that send more than a few hundred French letters a month can use the form to ask for custom credit or subscription pricing and the API. Payment is always in advance. Each letter is still one PDF, one address and one proof certificate.
