I received a USPS notice in my mail box that I missed a certified mail which was a letter. It doesn't have the sender's name or even my name on it. It has the tracking number which when tracked doesn't have information of where is it being sent from.
What are certified mails generally used for? If I accept a certified mail, do I have to sign for it?
I pay all my bills and credit cards regularly and I live in a rental apartment. This is making me worried since it says about certified letter.
Go the post office, hand them the form they left with you. They'll bring out the certified mail and you can see from the envelope who it is from before you sign for it. You can't open it unless you sign for it. Could be from your landlord telling you he won't be renewing your lease or giving you a 30 day notice to leave. He would be creating a paper trail of notification. Could be anything else too. Go find out.
The mailman is supposed to write in the zip code of the sender on the notice you received -- there is a space for it. If he didn't, he is negligent. Phone the PO and ask to be told the zip code on the piece of mail. Good luck phoning the post office.
As previously stated by another poster already certified mail is essentially someone having to sign for the letter or package you are sending them before they can receive it. As far as why people send mail certified they usually do it paying bills, giving notices, or sending important documents. Personally I mail my rent check in (they don't do auto pay) and have the envelop certified that way the company who runs the property can never claim they didn't get my rent money for the month.

I called the PO and told them the mailman left a notice without much details on it and asked if they can provide me sender's name/zip code if I give them tracking number. They said they cannot provide any details over the phone.
Looks like I will have to take a half day at work and visit PO for it.
I think you can return the notice card to your carrier and request that another attempt be made to deliver it. In fact, I think they will make three attempts before returning the item to sender as undeliverable or unclaimed.
Personally, I would call my landlord's office and see if they had sent it. If not, ignore it. These are often from bill collectors, how is your credit score? You might be able to find recent debt collection activity on your credit report, which would be reflected there before they send a certified letter.
If it's really important, and in your best interests,the sender would find another way to contact you.
I think you can just sign the card, and the Carrier will deliver the letter the next cycle, and they use your signature on the card as proof of delivery.

Yeah I can do that. But for it I will have to sign the notice and after that they will leave the letter in my mailbox. Giving it another thought, I don't wish to sign it without looking at the names of the sender or even looking at the name of the receiver. Thing is that I stay in rental house and I am still getting mails for the previous tenant in my mailbox.
The notice which mailman left just has date and my apartment address on it.
