HELP! how do you call this in english?

[Spell]

Let's say that you are sending a letter.
you want that the person who the letter is addressed will be reqired to sign a receipt in order to get the letter. you also want to receive a copy of that receipt, or, anyway, to have an official word by the post service when the letter is received.
so, you are sending a letter by [????]...
what's the name of the postal service? in case it make a difference, i would prefer uk english.

thanks a lot for your help.

EDIT: I just realised you want UK postal service. This is for US postal service. Doing a little Googling, this is probably what you want:

"Recorded Signed for" service

Very sweet of you, since you haven't met us all...

Just out of curiosity, where are you from originally and what is your native language?
