FedEx ID Scanning for Adult Signature Packages
FedEx ID scanning will soon impact all shippers. On June 28, 2022, FedEx express and ground will enable ID scanning functionality for domestic deliveries which require an adult signature. FedEx's ID scanning technology will electronically capture the recipient's name and automate age verification. This new process removes the need for manual data entry of recipient information and improves the accuracy of recipient information.
FedEx ID scanning might be a leap forward for automation, efficiency, and cost savings, but many consumers might not be so quick to accept this new policy. If FedEx only records the data outlined below, the possibility of data misuse is low. But, data compromisation is always possible, and identity theft does give people pause.
