What happens to my registered mail if the addressee is not home?

Go to Track & Trace or use the My bpost app to track your mail. Enter the alphanumerical part of the barcode of your mail item. You’ll find this on the proof of receipt or your till receipt. If you created a shipping label, you can track your registered mail item in the My bpost app.

bpost does all it can to deliver registered mail on the next workday. If you notice with Track & Trace that your registered mail is in transit for longer, please let us know via our online customer care.

If the addressee is not home, a failed delivery notice is left behind by the postman. The addressee has 15 calendar days to pick up your registered mail with confirmation of receipt (in the Post Office or Post Point mentioned on the failed delivery notice). If the addressee does not pick up your mail within 15 calendar days, it will be sent back to you. Make sure that your name and address are clearly written on your shipment.
