Bulk Proof of Delivery

Domestic Use Only

This enhancement gives mailers the ability to receive proof of delivery signature data electronically in bulk for applicable mailpieces. It also allows mailers to retain signature records beyond the Postal Service retention period, and it provides mailers a more efficient way to handle signature records.

Participants in the bulk proof of delivery program must have a Postal Service–issued mailer ID and enroll online through the Business Customer Gateway at usps.com.
