Notably, a valid Portugal CTT service tracking number is required to follow your shipment’s movement through the CTT network. Basically, every parcel handled by CTT receives a unique tracking code, which is used to display updates in the Track & Trace system.
You can locate your CTT shipment tracking number in any of the following places:
CTT uses two main tracking number formats. The majority of parcels follow the standard universal postal format. However, there can be some international shipments—mainly from Spain, which use a longer numeric format.
This is the primary format used for most national and international CTT items.
Example: RD123456789PT
It is worth noting that this format is used across the UPU (Universal Postal Union) postal network.
Used mainly for shipments originating in Spain, including some CTT Express / CTT Expresso cross-border parcels.
Example: 0010000082809458634407
Notably, this format contains 22 digits with no letters. It is assigned to specific international logistics flows where Spanish partners generate the label.
CTT is the national postal service of Portugal and one of Europe’s oldest operating mail networks. The company started in 1520 and grew into a large postal and logistics group serving individuals, businesses, and international shippers. CTT delivers mail, parcels, documents, and e-commerce orders across Portugal and to global destinations through a wide network of sorting centers, delivery partners, and international postal connections.
CTT operates several business units under the same group. These include national and international parcel delivery, express courier solutions under CTT Expresso, financial services through subsidiaries, and technology-driven platforms that support modern logistics.
The company also offers cross-border parcel movement supported by strong integrations, which makes it reliable for users who need CTT tracking Portugal visibility for domestic and international shipments.
If you need assistance with tracking updates, delivery delays, or address issues, you can contact CTT through the following official channels:
Updates may appear after the parcel reaches the first CTT facility. In the early stages, such as pickup or initial sorting, scans sometimes run late. If your tracking stays unchanged for a long time, contact support with your CTT tracking number.
Some postal operators in other countries provide limited tracking data. Some operators offer slow updates, while others provide none at all. CTT relies on the transit and destination countries for all information after the item departs Portugal.
A code that starts with C, G, L, O, R, U, or letters qualifies for the SIGA delivery-change options. So, a customer may request delivery to the same address. In fact, the customer may request delivery to a new address. Moreover, the customer may request delivery to any CTT store. The SIGA form includes a list of exceptions at the beginning.
Certain CTT shipping services do not offer full tracking. An item from such a service travels through the network without a visible tracking record. The sender often provides the shipping code separately. CTT also provides the code through SMS, email, or a delivery notice in the mailbox. Once the customer receives the code, they can use it to follow the shipment and request delivery adjustments.
Yes. Adverse weather conditions can interrupt transport routes because it can slow down operational work at distribution centers, which causes delayed movement across delivery zones. Mail and parcels may reach the customer later than expected during such periods.
