USPS pick up requires Id from me

[DES7OY3R]

I called the post office and they said if you want to pick up package from post office you are required to have and ID. I'm a student so do I go with my parents or what?

 

thank you

You don't have identification?  I had a state id when I was 10 years old.

Guess your going to need your parents to pick up the package then. And imo you should get an actual ID card for yourself.

I have picked up parcels from my local post office, I know as a fact that Australia Post only requires Photo Identification (and I would assume most couriers would have a similar policy), I showed them my school ID card and that was good enough. You don't not need to show a government official document to get your parcel, you just need to be able to prove that you are the person who the parcel was sent to (because anyone could just flog the piece of paper that they leave at your front door)

They want a ID, is so they can match the name that's on the package. Some people can basically yank those slips and claim the package is theirs if they don't present a ID.

Got a Student ID, you can probably use that.

Might also want to print out the tracking number and status updates for your package.

Printing is more official. Can probably just show it to them on your phone.
