How to send a simple or registered mail to Réunion?

The Reunion, a paradise island in the Indian Ocean, is part of the overseas departments and regions as well as the overseas collectivities (DROM-COM). This French island attracts attention with its spectacular volcanic landscapes, beautiful beaches, and rich biodiversity. As an European outermost region, Reunion shares this distinction with Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana. The island is a popular destination for both tourists and residents, who receive and send thousands of letters each year. La Poste guarantees Réunion residents a reliable and secure postal service to send letters around the world, including to metropolitan France. This service makes it easy to communicate with loved ones or to manage administrative tasks.

What types of mail can be sent to Réunion?

Aside from parcels handled by La Poste itself, you have the option to send :

• A standard or standard letter: This method is commonly used for sending mail and is the cheapest of the three options, but it carries more risks regarding its receipt since tracking is not included. Green mail is generally used when sending simple documents, personal letters or small parcels. You should not necessarily expect a reply from your recipient. However, this correspondence must be sent as a priority letter.
• A tracked letter: As with standard mail, mail sent to Réunion is considered priority, meaning you pay more to ensure your letter arrives safely. As the name suggests, if you opt for this priority mail, you will receive a tracking number. This allows you to track the routing of your letter online without requiring the recipient's signature upon delivery by the postman. This service is designed to meet various needs, whether for sending contracts, important documents, invoices, invitations to Réunion or satisfying client requests.
• A registered letter: This postal service offers higher security than a simple or tracked priority letter. In addition to tracking, the registered option provides a receipt and a signature on delivery. The recipient must sign an acknowledgment of receipt to confirm receipt of the mail. This service incurs an extra charge but provides enhanced security for important shipments. This allows sending quickly and securely any type of mail, whether important documents, contracts or confidential information.
