that is provided with Delivery Confirmation. Actual signatures can be easily
obtained from the USPS via fax or mail. This service meets the needs of
mailers who require a signature for high-value shipments, legal require-
ments, or who are specifically concerned with avoiding fraud. For security
purposes, digital signatures are not publicly displayed on the web site.
