New They think it helps cut down fraud. Better idea:
Write "ASK FOR PHOTO ID" on the back.

New That's what I have
Well, shorter form, I've got "See ID" on the back. But the USPS simply won't accept anything that isn't signed. If it's not signed when you come in, they ask for photo ID and require that you sign it in their presence before they'll accept it. If it's already signed when you come in, even if it says to check an ID, they won't ask for ID. Catch->22

Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978|Andrew Grygus]
