<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 304369, member: 1101&quot;]I have received registered letters from outside of the country (both in the US and when I was living in Germany).&nbsp; The Post Office did make me sign for them since they were registered.&nbsp; Whether or not they are responsible for doing that (or required to) is another question, as is the liability angle.&nbsp; (The one exception was a registered letter from Iraq, where the PO could not read the Arabic script and didn&#039;t realize it was registered).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, when I was living in Germany I sent a registered letter to Portugal.&nbsp; It was lost, and the German PO said that it was not insured only because it contained cash.&nbsp; They did try to track it but the Portugese PO did not provide the details so there was nothing the German PO could do to even tell me if/when/where it was delivered.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am just offering these personal experiences - I am not trying to suggest that they are applicable to any other person&#039;s situation.&nbsp; I seem to recall reading in a PO pamphlet I saw earlier today that the Universal Postal Union provides for some sort of reciprocity for some services, but I assume it is largely voluntary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
