Get all the benefits of Delivery Confirmation and more. You get an added level of security by requiring a signature from the person who accepts your package. 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. If delivery was attempted you will get the date and time of attempted delivery. Delivery information is available online and by phone. It uses the hot pink Signature Confirmation label, PS Form 153.

You can NOT use signature confirmation for First-Class Letters unless you use boxes like the ones on this web page. http://www.windowbook.com/smartdeliverybox/
