Sending a Proof-of-Life form to the U.S.

[graciela linett]

Is it safe to send a proof-of-life form to the SSA address in the U.S. via the Panamanian Postal System?

If not, any suggestions?

You can also do it online with the help of US Embassy in San Jose Costa Rica. Contact them as they were very helpful to me with my SSA questions.

I have wondered about the Tuesday market drop off and someone taking what’s there back to the U.S. with them? When going through airport check-in and asked the questing if you are carrying anything you didn’t pack yourself what’s the reply and possible consequence?

As Keith mentioned post office registered mail is just a dollar and I’ve never had a problem with it. In fact I dropped my proof of life form off at the post office today to be returned registered mail to the U.S.

The passenger would pack the mail. No issue.

Thank you all for taking the time to answer. Judy's way may be faster.

Panamanian Postal System works fine. You can register and send a letter for about a $1.

Go to the Tues market and drop it in the "Mail going to the U.S." box by the entrance to the theater.  That is a more reliable way to ensure your form makes it to the states.  Every week someone who is traveling to the U.S. takes the mail.  You have to put a U.S. "Forever" stamp on it or buy one from Penny.  She is there by the theater door.
