One fine (or not so) day you may find in your mailbox a notice with the codification “ZK” (ZK) on it. At the same time, the text of the notification usually does not indicate either the data about the sender, or what kind of letter it is, but only information about the need to visit the post office and receive the specified correspondence. Who is the sender of this letter, and what is the ZK notice? Let's figure it out.

The coding "ZK" is used in the postal circulation of "Russian Post", and means that the letter is certified. A similar coding has notifications notifying the recipient of the presence of a registered letter awaiting him at the post office.

Instead of information about the sender of this letter, a number is usually indicated, and in the worst case, there is no information at all. As for the other data available in the notification, there is an address where you can get the mentioned certified letter, digital and bar codes, as well as several service symbols.

As a rule, such registered letters with ZK-notification are sent by various state and municipal authorities. For example, it could be Pension Fund, courts of various instances, tax service, bailiff service and other state structures.

Also, in some cases, the sender of ZK-letters can be legal entities - banks, insurance companies and other commercial organizations.

In most cases, letters to the ZK are registered letters from state and municipal authorities.

From whom the ZK notification came about by certified mail

The most pressing question that people are interested in when receiving a notification with the codification "ZK" - what does the notification mean and who is the sender of the registered letter? It's no secret that some letters are simply useless (for example, different kinds advertising mailings), and a number of letters are not worth receiving at all.

What are the ways to identify the sender?

In the case of international mail, you can also use the sites track-trace.com (mail DHL, UPS, TNT, Fedex), 17track.net, globaltracktrace.ptc.post and other analogous resources;

What to do if you do not want to receive a letter from the ZK

A ZK letter usually stays in the mail for 7 or 30 days and then is returned to the sender. Registered letters from the court are kept for seven days (according to the appendix to the order of FSUE N 114-p), and all other letters are kept for 30 days.

At the same time, the court, having received back its registered letter, may consider that the recipient of the letter is still duly notified, therefore, it may start (continue) legal proceedings without you.

In some cases, the postmen of the Russian Post completely ignore existing rules by throwing the reserve into the recipient's mailbox without any signature. Who signs the receipt, whether the sender is notified of the receipt of this letter - a riddle with several unknowns.

Conclusion

What does this mean ZK? ZK Notification Letter is usually a standard certified letter sent by state and municipal authorities, as well as a number of legal entities. It is recommended to use the Russian Post resource to obtain information about the sender, and then proceed according to the current situation.

In contact with

From time to time, residents of cities and villages find in their mailboxes notifications to receive registered mail, where the return addressee is the abbreviation DTI, Moscow ASTs-DTI, Moscow GTSMPP. How does DTI stand for and what is it? There is no need to be afraid and panic, it is easier to understand everything. DTI is an additional technological index that the civil service uses to send notices and official letters, but in reality it does not exist and does not have an address. Moscow ASC-DTI is an automated mail sorting center. Moscow GTSMPP is the main center of long-distance mail transportation.

What can be said in a registered letter from DTI

If you received a notification for a registered letter from DTI, it means that some government service wants to communicate with you or transfer information Russian Federation... When you receive a postal item, you will not be able to read on the envelope who addressed the message to you, only by signing the receipt and opening the envelope, you will find out who is interested in communicating with you.

Often postal items without a return address, but marked with an additional technological index, may contain a fine from the traffic police with the application of a photo registrar about violation of the rules road traffic, a letter from the tax office about the payment of debt on transport tax or penalties, a message from bailiffs or a credit card from a commercial bank.

There are curious cases when a person who does not have a car or an offer from the tax inspectorate to pay land tax to a person who does not have a land plot receives a fine from the traffic police. In case of disagreement with the text of the received official letter, it does not need to be ignored, but it is worth appealing to the authority that initiated the message, attaching a copy of the received envelope with a stamp of the date of receipt.

Where to go to receive a letter from DTI

You can receive a certified mail on a notice sent to your name at your local post office, presenting your passport. Before taking this step, first check the information about the message on the Russianpost.ru website (enter the indicated additional index). Find out even more detailed information by calling the free hot reference service of the Russian Post 8-800-2005-888. It is imperative to get a certified envelope by mail, because it can contain valuable information, and not just fines.

Why there is no information about DTI

Certified letter to DTI what is it? An additional technology index is assigned to federal organizations, which they use to send letters or parcels to their customers. Such indexes do not have a legal address, telephone number and employees who would issue postal items, they are virtual. Such a system was developed to unload the main stream of correspondence going through regular post offices in cities and towns, for example, in Podolsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa, Krasnodar, Kemerovo, Kazan, Perm, Saratov, Mytishchi, Sharapovo, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, etc. In Moscow alone, 809 additional virtual technological indexes were created.

The abbreviation indicated on the envelope may mean that the letter, before reaching you, visited an automated sorting center in Moscow. A quarter of all correspondence in the country passes through this center, which significantly relieved the flow of mail through regular offices. But you will not find any legal information about the sorting center, as well as about an additional technology index.

Is it convenient to use DTI? For government agencies, yes. Lacking postal address information, they can send a message with other information to identify you. The automated selection system will find the right way to deliver the correspondence. Despite the virtuality of the technological index, its presence reduces the delivery time of postal items.

I am glad to welcome my readers again! Have you ever looked into your mailbox and see a notice marked "Moscow GSP"? Last week I had to visit the situation: a certified letter has arrived, where the specific sender was not indicated, but there was this inscription. I didn't even know whether to go to the post office to receive or ignore the notification. Let's figure out together why letters come with such marks and what to do in these cases.

What is GSP: where did the envelope come from?

Residents of Moscow who have received a notification with the inscription “GSP” sometimes decide that the State Service Prosecutor’s Office is trying to contact them. But really the abbreviation stands for "City Service Mail"... This organization was founded back in 1929; its task is to facilitate the sending of correspondence legal entities who send a large number of letters due to the specifics of the activity.

When mail is sent through the GSP, a car arrives at the organization, which picks up the envelopes and parcels. The delivery of letters to the department also takes place, and they are received in special rooms.

In addition to the question of how the GSP is deciphered, the recipients are interested in and the numbers that stand next to the abbreviation... The answer is simple: they mean the branch number. Each of them is also assigned an index: for example, "109992" in Moscow is assigned to GSP 2. But looking for information about the sender using these data is useless, therefore such nuances do not change anything for the recipient of the correspondence.

"Moscow GSP": how to check who sent a certified letter and from where

If you received a registered mail with the mark “GSP 4, Moscow”, you shouldn't guess what it is. The peculiarity of such correspondence is the impossibility of recognizing the content before receiving it. You can be sure only if the notice is marked "judicial" - the sender is clear. But in other cases, banks, notaries or other organizations can act in its role.

Please note that you do not need to pay for letters or parcels sent by government agencies. If the envelope was sent by cash on delivery, you are most likely dealing with scammers.

It is sometimes possible to find out information about the sender using the tracking system on the Internet. Follow the instructions:

In most cases, this method provides information about the sender. Next, it's up to you: whether to go to the post office or ignore the notification. If, after checking, the system provided only the index, it will be possible to find out the rest of the data only after receiving it.

User feedback

Recently, we received a notice of registered mail in Ulyanovsk with the mark “GSP”; the decryption was clear, but I wanted to know the sender. I checked the database, but I got only the DTI index. I searched the net and found out that this is just an additional technical index: it is assigned to shipments from official services but does not exist in reality.

Just in case, I called hotline"Russian Post". They asked if there was a "Forensic" mark. After a negative answer, I was told that the letter was sent by one of the corporate clients of the Russian Post. I called back to my office and began tearfully asking to name the sender. Surprisingly, the staff went forward!

It turned out that I was worried about the bank where I took out a car loan. I got alarmed and ran to the post office: it turned out that information brochures had been sent to me! All the excitement was in vain, just wasted my nerves.

"Moscow, GSP": what can be in a letter

Without identifying the sender, you will not know about the content either: it is guaranteed that you will not be able to check what has been sent to you. The envelope may contain instructions and warnings from the authorities in Moscow or notices from the Pension Fund.
