DHL tracking number can be understood as a shipment ID (identification) which is a unique to shipment for movement progress tracking and shipment history tracing.

It is sometimes known as a waybill number, consignment note number, shipment reference number, or tracking ID.

Different entity of DHL will have different format of tracking number. For example, DHL Express tracking number is made up of 10 numerical digits (e.g 1234577890) whereas DHL eCommerce tracking number consists of 16 digits (e.g. 71234567891234 ).

If you’re shipping locally or expecting a shipment from a local seller or local eCommerce platform like Shopee and Lazada, most likely your shipment is handled by DHL eCommerce.

DHL eCommerce tracking ID is made up of 16 numerical digits (e.g. 71234567891234 ).

However, if you’re using DHL Express exclusive domestic service, the tracking number will be a string of 10 numerical digits code (e.g 1234577890)

They are the same. DHL waybill number and tracking number is the same string of 10 numerical digits code (e.g 1234577890) you can find on your shipment label or shipment confirmation notification.  

Aside from these 2 terms, consignment note number, tracking ID, tracking reference, shipment reference number, or tracking code are some of the terms that hold the same meaning.  

You can find DHL tracking number on the shipment label stick on your shipment, on the digital copy air prepared by the shipper, or on the shipment confirmation notification. 

On your shipment label, or sometimes known as airway bill, the tracking number is located right under the first barcode. 

What is Tracking Status

DHL status updates provide detailed information on the progress of your shipment as it moves through the logistics network.

Each status has a specific meaning and may indicate if any action is required from you. Here's a guide to understanding these statuses.

The consignee is the person or entity that is receiving the arranged shipment.

In DHL tracking status, "third-party service" refers to an external delivery or logistics company that DHL partners with to handle certain parts of the shipping process. 

When your DHL tracking status mentions a third-party service, it typically means that the shipment is in the custody of one of these partners for a segment of its journey.

No, DHL's system cannot show the real-time tracking status of a shipment once it has been passed to a third-party service.

However, you can obtain the tracking number generated by the third-party courier from DHL to continue tracking your shipment.
