Sending documents to mortgage company

What is the best way to send the required documents to the mortgage company?

They have provided a 1st class free-post envelope, but i am assuming it should be sent with proof of postage at the very least?

Or do I send it special delivery?

It contains passports, marriage certificate etc...

The address is a PO Box address.

Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Originals?

    We would send only special delivery.

    Copies, we send recorded.

    They want originals.

    Can things be sent special delivery to a PO Box address??

    I wouldn't send it to the PO Box address. I'd establish the proper postal address of the lender's processing centre.

    Nothing strange about it being a PO box.
    SD all the way for items such as passports.
    Nothing less.

    A PO Box address on a business-reply service envelope wouldn't surprise me.

    I still wouldn't send special delivery to that address. The postcode will be a separate "XXX XBR" postcode on the business reply envelope not intended for non-business reply mail.

    If it is a high street lender why not get them to certify copies in branch and send in the internal post.

    If it isn't then special delivery to a standard address.
