Certified mail is used for legal documentation.
IRS uses it, and in my-um-experience, they have sent letters via "regular" mail, not certified. Don't ask me how I know.
While they're generally not good news, they may not be bad.
More importantly, you could ask for redelivery if you're going to be home when your carrier comes 'round. Or you could leave the notice signed in your mailbox and the carrier could leave it. If there is a return receipt attached, then no, you have to be there.
