Do you have to sign for priority express mail

In the United States, Priority Express Mail, which is a service offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS), typically requires a signature upon delivery. This is because Priority Express Mail is a trackable and secure service that requires a signature confirmation to ensure that the package is delivered to the correct recipient.

When you send a package via Priority Express Mail, you have the option to request a signature upon delivery. This is known as a "signature required" or "signature upon delivery" option. If you choose this option, the recipient will need to sign for the package before it is delivered.

Here are some scenarios where a signature may be required for Priority Express Mail:

  1. Signature required: The recipient must sign for the package upon delivery. This is the default option for Priority Express Mail.
  2. Signature not required: The recipient does not need to sign for the package upon delivery. This option is available for Priority Express Mail, but it's not recommended, as it may increase the risk of package theft or loss.
  3. Adult signature required: The recipient must be an adult (18 years or older) to sign for the package upon delivery.

It's worth noting that even if you choose the "signature not required" option, the USPS may still require a signature if the package is being delivered to a residential address or if the package is large or heavy.

If you're unsure about the signature requirements for your Priority Express Mail package, you can contact the USPS or check their website for more information.
