JACKPOT CRID/MID Process for Mail Service Providers
MSP’s who prepare mailings that include multiple mail owners in a mailing with less than 5,000 pieces per owner and are meeting 90% Full-Service of eligible volume, may request authorization to use a JACKPOT CRID/MID for identification of this volume. Correct use of this authorized JACKPOT CRID/MID will eliminate error code 7140 reporting for mailers that are preparing mail under the By/For Exception rule when a mail owner is presenting fewer than 5,000 pieces to the USPS in a mailing.

TED-C Mailpieces & Informed Delivery®
To ensure die-cut visibility for Informed Delivery® recipients, the leftmost edge of the die-cut extension must be in Zone C of the TED-C Letter Template. If the die-cut extension's leftmost edge is not in ZONE C, it may be acceptable to mail, but there may not be any visibility of the die-cut in Informed Delivery® for recipients.

Service Type Identifier (STID) Table Effective January 21, 2024
The STID (Service Type Identifier) is a three-digit numeric code used within the Intelligent Mail® barcode (IMb™) on a mailpiece that identifies the address correction or other electronic services desired. The STID Table allows you to determine which STID to use based on the mail class, address correction option, use of IV®-MTR and whether the mail contains a Full Service or Basic IMb.
