How to Add Signature Confirmation for Package Delivery

Signature confirmation helps guarantee your package arrives safely, and depending on what you're shipping, it may even be required for insurance coverage. This guide covers how to add it and which carriers support it.

How to add signature confirmation

To add signature confirmation to a label:

  • From the Orders page, open the order you want to add it to.
  • Open Shipment Extras.
  • Click Add next to Signature Confirmation.

Which carriers support signature confirmation

Signature confirmation is available through Shippo for any carrier that offers it as an add-on service.

Regular and Adult (21+) signature confirmation is available on Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, and Ground Advantage. USPS doesn't support signature confirmation on any international service level.

 

USPS fees (as of July 12, 2026):

  • Signature Confirmation — $4.15

Can I add signature confirmation after I buy my label?

No. Signature confirmation is a paid add-on that has to be selected during label creation. It can't be added after the label is purchased.
