Track registered international mail
The thrill of tracking international mail!
To track registered international mail, you'll need to use the tracking number provided by the postal service. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you track your registered international mail:
Step 1: Find the tracking number
Check your mail receipt or the confirmation email from the postal service to find the tracking number. It's usually a long string of numbers and letters, starting with "RC" or "IM" followed by a series of digits.
Step 2: Visit the postal service's website
Go to the website of the postal service that handled your mail (e.g., USPS, Canada Post, Royal Mail, etc.). Look for the "Track a Package" or "Track a Mailpiece" section.
Step 3: Enter the tracking number
Enter the tracking number in the required field and click "Track" or "Search".
Step 4: Check the tracking status
The tracking page will display the current status of your mail, including:
- The date and time it was sent
- The destination country
- The current location (e.g., "In transit", "Arrived at destination country", etc.)
- Estimated delivery date (if available)
Step 5: Monitor the tracking updates
Keep an eye on the tracking updates to stay informed about the progress of your mail. You can usually set up email notifications or bookmark the tracking page to receive updates.
Tips and Variations
- Some postal services may require you to create an account or log in to track your mail.

- If you're experiencing issues with tracking, contact the postal service's customer service or the sender for assistance.
By following these steps, you should be able to track your registered international mail and stay informed about its journey to its destination.
