When you put something in the mail, the Post Office places a mark on the item to indicate the date that they processed it. That's called the postmark. To ensure that an item is postmarked by a certain date, you should mail it at least 1 or 2 days prior to the required postmark date.
As long as the postmark date printed on the item is on or before the stated date, you should be fine.
However, sometimes the postmark is not legible. When this happens, the date of receipt usually governs. If you want to guarantee that it is postmarked immediately and legibly, take it to the post office and send it Certified Mail. It will be postmarked immediately, while you watch. You will also be able to track its delivery through the Post Office.

Postmarked means the day the post office puts there date stamp on it. If you look at recived mail in your mailbox you will see over the postage stamp is an ink mark with a date. That is a "post mark" so if something is due March 28th send it 4 or 5 days before that date just to be on the safe side.

It means that when The application has been posted and processed by the postal service.
The post service uplifts the application from the post shop or letter box it is then taken to the sorting center and sorted and "marked" at the sign time.
This is when its postmarked and then forwarded on to the recipient.
The Mark made at the sorting center is what they mean. It will have the date and sometimes even has the time it was put through the sorting center on it as well.
I hope that helps you some.

Yes, it does make the deadline. The postmarked date is the date by which the post office "marks" the envelope. It is then in the postal system's delivery process.

It is the date the post office stamps on outgoing mail.
The answer to your second question is "yes, you have made the deadline".

It means the post office has to have it in their hands by that date, regardless of when the receiver gets it.
