Secure postage to another country from UK

Hi all,
I am making an application from outside the UK. The guide says, if I want my documents to be returned in a safer way, I should send, with my application, the royal mail special delivery envelope. However, I live in Brazil, so I am not sure if the royal mail special delivery is also guaranted (its safety) after entering Brazilian territory or if the special delivery safety is only to UK territory.
So, I was wondering if some applicant, also living abroad, could help me with the safest way to have the documents back...
Thanks in advance!

Royal Mail special delivery is for UK mail as far as I am aware and as you are in Brazil, you wouldn't be able to get one of these envelopes anyway.

Special Delivery is only for UK.
For international destination, use
International Tracked & Signed.
Have family / friends in UK? Ask them to post you one (royal mail envelope for International Tracked and Signed service, pre-paid for both approx. weight and destination) and then you can include it in your application.

This is not an immigration query. Please don't move it to a "immigration" forum.

Neither does it refer to someone who is 'Settling In'...which is why I moved it to something more 'General'. I perhaps wrongly, assumed that a UKF application was applicable to immigration.

I moved it from Settling in to BC forum as this person is already posting in the UKF discussion topic. Given that UKF is made from anywhere in the world, it is still a BC application, but suppose a 'special delivery' question is not

Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the "query" - which is to do with "postage", not immigration.
That said, do feel free to move it wherever you deem appropriate.
