I would like to know if you need a photo ID to send regular letters to Canada.

Since I’m going to be sending a letter with a tracking number, I was wondering if a photo id is required. And is there an age limit to sending letters?

I’m hoping to send the letter without a return address but heard its needed if tracking is included.
I’m in Canada and using Canada Post to send letters.

No, you don’t need ID to send a letter and there is no age limit. Kids barely old enough to write can send letters to Santa Claus at Christmas.. You will need ID only if you’re picking up a parcel or registered letter at a post office. If you send a letter with a tracking number, the form you fill out on the letter has a space for your name and phone number. I don’t know if it’s mandatory to fill out those spaces, I’ve never tried not doing it. The purpose of the tracking feature is so they can keep track of what you sent and notify you if something happens and your name on the thing is the only way they can do that. You can go to a post office and ask if it’s absolutely necessary to put your name and address on it but since it’s generally to your advantage to do so, it’s going to look kind of funny if you don’t.
