You don't need to send it registered, that's a myth and gives the recipient a heads up that it isn't something that they want. Send it first class via a Post office who will issue you a Certificate of Posting. Even legal paperwork from the courts is not sent recorded as it is deemed to have been delivered x days from posting.

Oh and if it is a final warning, remember to head it "Letter before Action" and give a definite timescale for the remedy that you want, failing which legal action will commence without further notice.

On the letter itself, or the envelope?

No, envelope should be plain white and hand written address etc.

Also gives recipient the 'I haven't received it' option. More difficult with a photo and signature

The point is that someone expecting "important" paperwork will not be accepting something like that. The court will accept a copy of the letter sent under plain cover, with proof of posting. Recipient never gets a clue what it is until he opens it, although even that is irrelevant as far as Small Claims Court is concerned. The only time that proof of delivery is required is when a warrant of some sort needs serving. A good example being an order of the court to attend a "verbal examination". Then proof of personal service is required.

If you send it SD they can refuse to sign for it so send it Tracked 24 or 48 with no signature required. Don't put your details in the Sender box. Proof of delivery should be a photo of it halfway through their letterbox, there will also be a GPS timestamp when the item is scanned and another when the POD photo is taken. If they say they haven't received it, open a denial of receipt claim and RM will confirm that the item was delivered to the correct location.
Stick it in a jiffy bag and you can guarantee they'll open it.

Possibly delivered but without being scanned. A couple of years ago they introduced printable barcodes to replace the bright orange stickers. They're so easy to miss now, especially on brown envelopes.

It was Firearms document to my Doctors, and they have still not received it - I wound up hand carrying copies and insisting that the Practice Manager signed for it

Yes I have sent several recorded or registered letters to miscreant etc , all the post office do is guarantee to take your money . I think they say " we have tried to deliver the packet " which is a total waste of time , be very wary of using solicitors to get CCJ's they to like your money too .
Check out doing it yourself and getting the Sheriffs to take it on if you are prepared to lay out their costs .
I spent £100 or so at a PI agency who tracked two miscreants to their home addresses , I recorded several car numbers visiting each address & bingo they were interacting with each other . They both had a string of CCJ's against them so I took advice from a friend and let it go as in the long run I was likely to be on a looser all the way .
