Frequently asked questions
What exactly do you send to France?
A lettre recommandée: we print your PDF in France and La Poste delivers it against the recipient's signature, with tracking. With a sender address in France you can choose the LRAR, which adds the avis de réception signed by the recipient.
When is my letter posted?
A lettre recommandée uploaded on a working day by 12:00 Central European time is posted the same day. An LRAR is posted the next working day at the latest.
How long does delivery take?
La Poste usually delivers 2 to 3 business days after handover.
I rent a home in France. How do I give notice?
French law asks for an LRAR, a commissaire de justice or hand delivery against a receipt. While the lease runs, the rented home is your French address, so you can send the LRAR.
What if the recipient does not collect the letter?
La Poste keeps it for 15 calendar days and then returns it. For a lease notice, the notice period has not started: send it again.
Do I need registered mail to cancel French insurance?
No. A letter, an email or online cancellation will do. Registered mail proves the date of receipt, which sets when the policy ends.
Can a company send these letters from abroad?
Yes. Recommandé is open to every sender, and the LRAR to senders with an address in France. Ask for a custom volume price through the business form, always paid in advance. Each letter has its own VAT invoice.
