Correo Argentino Tracking Numbers
What is a Correo Argentino Tracking Number?
A Correo Argentino tracking number is a unique alphanumeric code assigned to every trackable shipment processed by Correo Oficial de la República Argentina S.A. — the designated national postal operator of Argentina. The tracking number allows senders and recipients to monitor a parcel's journey from acceptance at a post office through customs (for international shipments) and on to final delivery. Correo Argentino uses the international Universal Postal Union (UPU) standard for its tracking codes, which means the numbers are also readable by foreign postal administrations and third-party tracking platforms when an item crosses borders. Once a package is deposited at any of Correo Argentino's 3,500+ branches nationwide, the system generates a tracking event and the number becomes active within a few hours.
Where to Find Correo Argentino Tracking Numbers
The tracking number is printed on the receipt handed to the sender at the post office counter at the time of posting. For e-commerce shipments, online retailers and marketplaces typically send the tracking number in a shipment confirmation email or make it visible in the order detail page of their website or app. For EMS (Express Mail Service) parcels, the code also appears on the customs declaration form attached to the package. Recipients can request the tracking number directly from the sender if they have not yet received it. All tracking lookups can be performed on the official website at correoargentino.com.ar/seguimiento-de-envios or through the MiCorreo digital platform.
Correo Argentino Tracking Number Formats
Correo Argentino tracking numbers follow the UPU 13-character standard: two-letter service prefix + nine digits + two-letter country code AR. The prefix identifies the service type:
- Rx xxxxxxxxx AR — registered small packets and letters (e.g. RR123456785AR)
- Cx xxxxxxxxx AR — standard parcels weighing 2–20 kg (e.g. CP999582247AR)
- Ex xxxxxxxxx AR — EMS express shipments (e.g. EE123456785AR)
Domestic-only shipments may use numeric-only codes assigned at the branch level, which are not always visible on third-party tracking platforms. For international tracking, the full 13-character UPU code is required.
