signature release authorization
Explanation:
We could do with more context - is this an authorization to leave a package in a pre-arranged place without obtaining the signature that would normally be required? If so, "signature release authorization" could be what you want. There is an example of one here:-

Reference: "Release delivery authorization" or "Driver release"

Reference information:
Q: I'm running a part-time business while also continuing my full-time job. My problem is, there's no one at home to receive UPS or FedEx packages related to my business. Having a neighbor accept them for me isn't an option. What can I do?

A: If your packages would be safe from theft and weather, you can sign what FedEx calls a "release delivery authorization" and what UPS calls a "driver release," and the drivers can leave your packages without your having to sign for them.
