FedEx Delivery Signature Options | Overview

When you are shipping via FedEx, the default signature option is No Signature Required, Service Default.

For added peace of mind, FedEx offers three types of delivery signature options:

  • Indirect Signature
  • Direct Signature
  • Adult Signature

Each delivery signature option comes with a different level of security and additional fee.

Indirect Signature

Fee: $5.25 per package, as of January 2020

Signer requirements: May come from anyone meeting one of the following descriptions:

  1. Someone at the delivery address.
  2. Someone at a neighboring address.
  3. The recipient can sign a FedEx door tag authorizing the FedEx agent to deliver the package without anyone present. 

If none of the following are available, FedEx will attempt to re-deliver.

Direct Signature

Fee: $5.25 per package, as of January 2020

Signer requirements: Must come from someone at the delivery address. If no one is present, FedEx will attempt to re-deliver.
