The authorities have helped by sending such letters to the Reichsdeutscher Dienstleistungen im Protektorat with the request to arrange for service, For such service, the Oberlandrats are not available, if they are not recipients at the seat of the authority of the Oberlandsrat. The Deutsche Dienstpost cannot provide services, and the Oberlandrats have therefore had to make use of the Post Offices or the Protectorate authorities. In order to make this procedure uniform and reliable, I have arranged for the Ministry of Transport to establish a system that ensures reliable delivery. This has been done by the decree of the Ministry of Transport in Prague dated 29 September 1940, which is enclosed in print, by the introduction of the certificate procedure. Insofar as there are specific rules for the judicial authorities, these are not affected by the new regulation. I ask that this regulation be published in the Reichsministerialblatt für die Inneren Verwaltung and that the authorities in the Old Kingdom should point out in particular that all notifications to workers residing in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia must be sent back to the Postalant Prag 1 with the request to return the return receipt to the requesting authority via dic ./. 2
