How long does royal mail keep signature records for 2017

According to Royal Mail's retention policy, they typically keep signature records for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery. This means that if you sent a parcel or letter in 2017, Royal Mail would have kept the signature record for approximately 12 months after the delivery date.

However, it's worth noting that Royal Mail may keep signature records for longer periods in certain circumstances, such as:

• If there is a dispute or issue with the delivery, Royal Mail may retain the signature record for a longer period to facilitate investigation and resolution.
• If the signature record is required for legal or regulatory purposes, such as in the case of a court order or investigation, Royal Mail may retain the record for a longer period.

It's also worth noting that Royal Mail's retention policy may have changed since 2017, so it's possible that they may have updated their policy to retain signature records for a longer or shorter period.

If you need to access a signature record from 2017, I would recommend contacting Royal Mail directly to inquire about their current retention policy and to see if they can provide you with the information you need.
