CTR on a Courier Service

Answered by: 

Question: 
A client recently faxed over a request for a cash transaction requiring a CTR. The client hired a courier service to pick up the cash. In filling out Section B on the CTR form what option should be used to best describe the courier service (armored car service, mail etc.) or should the courier service employee's name, address and personal info (SS Number, etc) be taken to complete section B?
Answer: 

From the CTR form instructions: All individuals (except employees of armored car services) conducting a reportable transaction(s) for themselves or for another person, must be identified by means of an official document(s). So unless the courier you are using is a recognized armored car service, the individual acting as the courier would have to be identified.
