Restricted Delivery  
Be sure your mail gets into the right hands.
When you want your mail to reach a specific recipient, use Restricted Delivery.

Sometimes, you might have private or highly classified documents that you require to be seen only by the addressee. Restricted Delivery ensures that your mail is only delivered to the person you specify, or to the person authorized in writing to sign for intended recipient. Mail for minors or persons under guardianship may be delivered to their parents or guardians.
