OP-201 form must be on file for the driver to release a package without obtaining a signature at a business stop.

• A. Not required
• B. Depends on location
• C. True
• D. False

Answer: (C)

Releasing a package without a signature hinges on having written authorization on file. The OP-201 form acts as that documented permission, showing that at the business stop there is a standing release authorization for someone to accept and sign for deliveries on the recipient’s behalf. When this form is on file, the driver has a verifiable basis to release the package without obtaining a handwritten signature at the door, reducing risk of misdelivery and disputes. If the form isn’t on file, the driver should not release without a signature and should either obtain one or hold the package per policy. That’s why this statement is correct: the OP-201 form must be on file to permit a no-signature release at a business stop.
