This includes express mail, certified mail and registered mail.   For these reasons, if you have sent materials to the Peace Corps via regular mail and are concerned about their delivery, we recommend that you resend those materials, either by commercial express mail or by fax. If you are sending materials to the Peace Corps for the first time, we also recommend sending them by commercial express mail or fax.   NEXT: Duties and Responsibilities   If you have questions, please contact:     PCMO Program Coordinator Peace Corps Office of Medical Services 1111 20th Street, NW Washington, DC 20526     202-692-1535 800-424-8580, ext. 1500     202-692-1596     pcmorecruitment@ peacecorps.gov   Read our privacy and freedom of information policies.
