Send a registered letter online

The price depends on the destination, on the page count and on whether you print in black and white or in colour. The table on this page names every destination with the delivery types it offers and their price. The price for your exact letter appears at the desk above as soon as the recipient and the text are there, and it is the same amount the checkout charges. There is no subscription and no base fee.

A registered letter makes the handover traceable through its tracking number and, depending on the product, documents a mailbox drop or handover against a signature. It does not prove what was inside the envelope, and it guarantees neither receipt nor the legal effect of the content. In court it is an indication, not proof of the content. Whether a registered letter, a courier or a lawyer is the right instrument depends on the deadline, the recipient and the area of law.

No. German law requires written form for terminating an employment contract and for terminating a tenancy, and written form means your own handwritten signature on the original the recipient receives. We print your text, so the letter carries no handwritten signature and a termination sent this way would be void. For those two cases, print the letter yourself, sign it by hand and post it yourself. Objections, withdrawals, payment reminders and most other contracts are not subject to this requirement.

Yes. Every registered letter carries a tracking number. You get it by email as soon as the letter has been handed to the postal service, together with the tracking link and handover timestamp. We do not issue a carrier-issued proof-of-posting PDF. A plain standard letter has no tracking number; there you only see when we handed it over.

Letters paid for on a working day before the daily cut-off go into print the next working day and are handed to the postal service the same day. After that the delivery times of the carrier apply. A letter paid for at the weekend starts on Monday.

Attachments are printed behind the body of the letter, in the order you add them. A PDF keeps its pages, a PNG is placed on one A4 page and is only ever scaled down, never up. The letter itself always keeps our layout: sender and recipient sit where the envelope window shows them. An uploaded file therefore never replaces the letter, it follows it.

To send the letter we need the text, both addresses and your payment details. Payment runs through Stripe, we never see your card details. The draft and the typeset PDF are deleted if you do not buy them. What we store, for how long and why is in the privacy policy.

FrankKi currently offers registered letters only within Germany. The DE server catalog prices the two available options, drop-in and handover. For other destinations you can use the plain-letter page.
