Do i have to sign for first class mail
In the United States, the Postal Service requires a signature upon delivery for certain types of First-Class Mail, but not all of them. Here's a breakdown:
Signature Required:
- First-Class Package Service: If you're sending a package that weighs 13 ounces or more, a signature is required upon delivery. This includes packages with a value of $100 or more.
- First-Class Mail International: If you're sending mail internationally, a signature is required upon delivery for packages that weigh 13 ounces or more.
No Signature Required:
- First-Class Mail Letters: If you're sending a letter or a small package that weighs less than 13 ounces, a signature is not required upon delivery.
- First-Class Mail Cards: If you're sending greeting cards, postcards, or other types of cards, a signature is not required upon delivery.
Optional Signature Services:
- Signature Confirmation: You can request Signature Confirmation, which requires the recipient to sign for the package upon delivery. This service is available for an additional fee.
- Certified Mail: You can also use Certified Mail, which requires the recipient to sign for the package upon delivery and provides proof of delivery.
Keep in mind that even if a signature is not required, the Postal Service may still require a signature if the package is large or heavy enough to require a signature upon delivery.
If you're unsure about the requirements for your specific mail piece, you can always contact your local post office or check the USPS website for more information.
