Which tracking numbers does Latvijas Pasts use?
Latvijas Pasts assigns a tracking number to all EMS shipments and packages. Small packages may not have tracking and be sent without it.
Latvia Post's tracking number format looks like this:
RA123456785LV: small packages from Latvia weighing up to 2 kg always start with the letter R, from the word Registered;
CD123456785LV: the tracking number for Latvia Post shipments weighing up to 20 kg always starts with the letter C;
EE123456785LV: EMS express deliveries start with the letter E.
The first letter R indicates that it is a registered small parcel; for shipments, the letter will be C; EMS mail begins with the letter E. The digits ensure that the number is unique. The last letters determine the country of the postal service from which the package was sent.
