agents of the addressee and/or require only the
signature of a postal official on the return receipt.
Restricted delivery is available only:
At the time of mailing
For registered items or recorded delivery
If accompanied by a return receipt
To certain countries (refer to the Individual
Country Listings of the IMM)
When the sender requests restricted delivery
service, ensure that the item is endorsed A
REMETTRE EN MAIN PROPRE or the equivalent in
a language known in the destination country. The
endorsement should be located on the address side
below the return address.
RECALL/CHANGE OF ADDRESS
On request by the sender, an item can be recalled
(withdrawn from the mail and returned to sender) or its
address can be changed subject to conditions and
limitations listed in the IMM. These services can be
requested at:
the office of mailing,
the U.S. dispatching exchange office, or
the country of end destination.
Some countries DO NOT provide these services.

instructions and for a list of countries that do not
