Document background
A Delivery Authorisation Letter is commonly used when the original recipient of goods cannot personally collect or receive a delivery and needs to delegate this authority to another party. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, provides legal protection for all parties involved in the delivery process by clearly establishing who has authority to receive goods. The letter typically includes essential details such as the identities of all parties involved, specific details of the goods being delivered, validity period of the authorization, and any special conditions or requirements. It's particularly important in commercial contexts where clear documentation of delivery authorization is required for audit trails and legal compliance.
