What is required for Adult Restricted Delivery?

For Adult Restricted Delivery, it is essential that the recipient is both present at home and over the age of 21. This requirement ensures that sensitive or valuable items are delivered only to the intended adult recipient, thereby providing a layer of security and verification that helps protect against unauthorized access to the delivered items. By limiting delivery to individuals who are of legal age, it reduces the risk of packages being handed over to minors or individuals who are not directly authorized to receive them.

While a signature is a part of the delivery process, simply having a signature is not sufficient without ensuring the recipient meets the age and presence criteria. Furthermore, the delivery cannot just be accepted by any adult in the household; it must be specifically the designated adult recipient. Proof of residence is also not a requirement for Adult Restricted Delivery, as the focus is primarily on verifying the identity and age of the person receiving the package.
