How to Prove Mail Service

Mailing court paperwork sounds simple, but judges expect more than a stamped envelope. You need records that show what was mailed, when, and how.

When to use this

• You must show the court that a notice or motion was mailed on a specific date.
• You are assembling a service packet for default judgment or a compliance hearing.
• You want a repeatable workflow for tracking every mailed document.

How to do it (fast)

1. Keep a running list of all mailings with a log or spreadsheet, including dates and recipients.
2. Generate an affidavit of mailing for each batch so you can swear to the details if questioned.
3. Attach postal receipts, tracking screenshots, or delivery confirmations to your proof packet.

Why this helps

• Courts quickly see that you met statutory service timelines.
• A sworn affidavit plus logs and receipts makes your proof hard to challenge.
• Digital records stay private because our tools run in-browser without uploads.
