Emirates Post Tracking Numbers


What is an Emirates Post Tracking Number?


An Emirates Post tracking number is a unique alphanumeric code assigned to shipments handled by Emirates Post, the official postal service of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It allows senders and recipients to track mail and parcels through Emirates Post's network covering both domestic UAE deliveries and international shipments worldwide.


Where to Find Emirates Post Tracking Numbers


The tracking number is printed on the receipt issued at the post office counter when a trackable item is posted. Online shoppers receive it in their shipping confirmation email or can find it on the retailer's order tracking page. Tracking is available on the official Emirates Post website at emiratespost.ae, through the Emirates Post mobile app, or on third-party platforms such as trackingmore.com, 17track.net, and parcelsapp.com.


Emirates Post Tracking Number Formats


Emirates Post tracking numbers follow the UPU standard format: two letters + nine digits + country code AE (13 characters total).

  • R – Registered Mail (e.g., RA123456789AE)
  • E – EMS / Express Mail (e.g., EE123456789AE)
  • C – Parcels (e.g., CA123456789AE)

Some domestic shipments may use an EM-prefixed numeric code, such as EM123456789.
