Signature Confirmation  
Verify delivery – and know who accepted your package.
Get all the benefits of Delivery Confirmation™ and more. Signature Confirmation™ gives you an added level of security by requiring a signature from the person who accepts your package.

If you’re sending something important, you may want to be sure that it reaches not just the right address, but the right hands as well. With Signature Confirmation, you can get confirmation of delivery - including date, time and location - and you can request to have a letter faxed or mailed to you with a copy of the recipient’s signature.
