This simply means in a letter here.
There is an implication of 'return mail' as in "I answered by return mail' meaning ASAP, or if an addressed envelope was sent with the form, then obviously that should be used.
In other contexts 'brev retur' does frequently mean 'addresse unknown' or that the letter could not be delivered for some reason, but not here.
"Please fill in the form legibly and return it by fax or mail"
