The Postal Service has released USPS Publication 6850, Streamlined Mail Acceptance for Letters and Flats, which contains the policies and processes for the verification of eligible business mailings using tools provided by Intelligent Mail Full-Service, eInduction, and Seamless Acceptance.

Publication 6850 contains an explanation of each verification program; detailed participation requirements for each program; descriptions of Postal Service verifications; mail quality error thresholds; and postage assessment calculations.

Publication 6850 is a central hub to other reference documents, with links to the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) and other relevant documents. The DMM has precedence over this publication as a source of information for business mail preparation and entry requirements.
