USPS Signature Confirmation

What Is Signature Confirmation?

The USPS offers a service called Signature Confirmation that gives shippers extra peace of mind by requiring a signature from the recipients of their packages. Although USPS Tracking proves that a package was delivered to a particular address, Signature Confirmation proves that it was actually received by the intended recipient or his agent.

Signature Confirmation costs $3.15 when purchased at a Post Office. Signature Confirmation provides shippers with the name of the recipient as well as the delivery date, time, and location; a copy of the recipient’s signature will also be faxed, mailed, or e-mailed to you upon request. Delivery status information is available for one year after the date of delivery, and can be accessed online or by phone.
