Austrian Post Tracking Numbers
What is an Austrian Post Tracking Number?
An Austrian Post (Österreichische Post AG) tracking number is a unique reference code assigned to trackable shipments sent through Austria's national postal service. It allows senders and recipients to follow a parcel's journey from acceptance to final delivery, both within Austria and internationally.
Where to Find Austrian Post Tracking Numbers
For items sent at a post office counter, the tracking number appears on the posting receipt. Online shoppers receive it in the shipping confirmation email from the retailer. Tracking can be done via the official Austrian Post Track and Trace page at post.at, or through third-party services such as trackingmore.com, parcelsapp.com, and 17track.net.
Austrian Post Tracking Number Formats
Austrian Post tracking numbers generally follow two formats:
- International UPU format: Two letters + nine digits + country code AT (13 characters total), e.g., EE123456789AT or CA482156827DE for inbound items from Germany.
- Domestic numeric format: A long numeric string, e.g., 1011236513864670170531, used for domestic parcels and express items.
