Recorded is no better than normal post and often signatures are not obtained. I would be inclined to splash out for Special Delivery which is properly tracked and very reliable.

It will be on record when its received in the office

Maybe too late for you if you've mailed it today, but for us, the PO's 'check and send;' was worth the few quid it costs, as you know everything's OK when they accept it. We'd left it a bit late (4-5 weeks prior to travel), needed a new photo endorsed, and our lawyer neighbour managed to fill in the wrong line on the application form (which is a tiny bit tricky). The PO spotted it so we could have another go on a fresh form, but if we'd just mailed it, we'd have lost a couple of weeks and the postage. It's also easy to offend the new photo guidelines!

But if you have lots of time- you'll probably be OK mailing it. Bon Voyage anyway
