CTT tracking numbers
What is the CTT tracking number?
CTT, the national postal service of Portugal, uses tracking numbers to enable senders and recipients to trace their parcels throughout the delivery process. By entering the tracking number on the CTT website or third-party tracking tools, customers can view their package’s journey in real-time, including updates on its arrival at distribution centers, customs clearance, and final delivery. The tracking system ensures that customers are kept informed and can plan accordingly for the arrival of their shipments.
Where to find CTT tracking numbers
If you do not have a tracking number for your CTT shipment:
Check the order confirmation or notification email sent by the seller or CTT when the item was shipped. The tracking number is usually included in these communications.
If you cannot find it, you can contact the seller or the platform from which you purchased assistance.
You may also visit a CTT postal office with the shipment receipt to ask for the tracking number or inquire with their customer service.

The track number of the CTT (Correios de Portugal) delivery service, which is used to track parcels, has the following structure:
