Which service restricts delivery to a specific addressee or authorized agent only?

• A. Restricted Delivery
• B. Signature Confirmation
• C. Delivery Confirmation
• D. Certified Mail

Answer: (B)

Deliveries can be restricted to the addressee or an authorized agent, meaning only the person named or someone you’ve approved to act on their behalf can receive the item. This is precisely what the restricted delivery service provides: it adds a gatekeeper layer to ensure sensitive mail goes only to the intended recipient or their designated representative.

The other services focus on proving delivery or collecting a signature, but they don’t limit who may accept the item. Signature Confirmation verifies who signs for the mail, but it doesn’t restrict delivery to a specific person in advance. Delivery Confirmation (tracking) shows that the item was delivered, without enforcing identity or a specific recipient. Certified Mail offers proof of mailing and delivery (and optional signature), but it does not inherently restrict delivery to a particular addressee or authorized agent.
