The Dirección General de Correos runs the national post of El Salvador. It carries the country's own letters and parcels and, as the designated operator, takes delivery of the mail that every other postal administration sends into El Salvador. Its tracking service publishes the UPU IPS record for an item: the office that handled it, the event the office filed, and the reason and action where a handover did not complete. Track91 reads that same public record and lays it out newest first.
The record names the postal product an item travels under: CARTAS (LC/AO) for letters and small packets, ENCOMIENDAS (CP) for parcels and EMS for the express service. The product decides which offices handle the item and how it is bagged for onward dispatch, so it is worth noting when comparing two items that seem to be moving at different speeds.
Mail sent to El Salvador keeps the item code issued by the posting country's own operator. Correos de El Salvador begins recording it at the office of exchange in San Salvador, so the history here starts on arrival in the country and carries no scan from abroad. For the earlier part of the journey, check the sending post's own tracker using the same code.
Items use the universal UPU S10 layout, for example RR123456789SV. The first two letters name the postal product and service, the nine digits are the serial with a check digit at the end, and the last two letters are the ISO code of the post that issued the code. Mail posted in El Salvador ends in SV; an inbound item ends in the sending country's code instead.
Copy the code exactly as printed, including leading zeroes, and leave out any spaces the receipt prints between the groups. A shop order number or a payment reference describes a purchase rather than a postal item and cannot be looked up here.
An item posted at one office and delivered from another is normally recorded over a few days: taken in at the counter, dispatched onward, received at a sorting centre, bagged, received at the delivery office and handed to the delivery agent. The post files a scan at each of those points rather than continuously, so a quiet day between two offices is ordinary.
Inbound mail can wait considerably longer. Customs handling, the volume at the office of exchange and the round the delivery office is running all add time, and an item may be handed to a delivery agent more than once before it is signed for. Treat the recorded scans as handling history, not as a delivery appointment.
Recibir envío del cliente is the item being taken in over the counter. Enviar envío a ubicación nacional is its onward dispatch from the office that filed the scan. Insertar envío en saca and Eliminar envío de saca are the item being made up into, and broken out of, a mail bag at a sorting centre.
Recibir envío en oficina de cambio is the office where international mail crosses the border. Recibir envío en oficina de entrega is arrival at the office that will deliver it, and Recibir envío en ubicación is a sorting or distribution centre in between. None of the three is a delivery.
Transferir envío al agente de entrega means the item went out with a postman; it can appear more than once if a first round did not complete. Entregar envío is the handover itself, and it is the only event that marks an item as delivered. The page also prints a summary line such as ¡Paquete entregado con exito! above the history.
Intento fallido de entrega de envío is an attempted handover that did not complete. The post files a reason beside it, such as Dirección incorrecta/ilegible/incompleta or Destinatario no disponible, and an action such as notifying the customer, holding the item for further information, or returning it to the sender. Read the action first: it says what became of the item.
Item enviado a la aduana means the item was presented for customs clearance, and Item devuelto de la aduana means customs handed it back to the post. The second is a release back into the postal network, not a return to the sender; the item carries on to a delivery office afterwards.
Actualizar envío and Registrar información del destinatario record a change to the item's paperwork rather than a movement. They appear between real handling scans and are kept in the history, but they never change where the item is. The shipment status always follows the most recent scan that actually moved it.
For claims, customs questions and collection instructions, contact the post directly through the official Correos de El Salvador website, or the delivery office named in the item's latest scan. Have the complete item code and the latest recorded event ready. Track91 is an independent tracking service: it reads the public record and cannot change delivery instructions, accept payments or decide a postal claim.

Enter the complete item code from your posting receipt or from the sender. Track91 reads the same public record the official rastrear-paquete page uses and lists every office scan, newest first. Keep leading zeroes and the two trailing country letters exactly as printed.
Items use the UPU S10 layout: two letters, nine digits and two letters, for example RR123456789SV. Mail posted in El Salvador ends in SV. An item sent to El Salvador from abroad keeps the code of the post that issued it, so it may end in any country suffix.
Yes, using the original code issued by the sending post. Correos de El Salvador only records the item once it reaches the country, so the history begins at the office of exchange in San Salvador rather than at the point of posting. Check the sending post for the earlier scans.
Timing depends on the postal product, the route and any customs handling. Domestic mail moves between offices within days, while inbound international mail may sit between the office of exchange and the delivery office for longer. Treat each scan as recorded handling rather than a guaranteed appointment.
The post files a scan only at defined handling points, so gaps between offices are normal. An item sent from abroad shows nothing at all until it arrives in El Salvador. Confirm the code against the posting receipt, then ask the sending post or the destination office if the gap is unusually long.
It means the item was taken in at the office of exchange, the office where international mail crosses the border. For inbound mail it is usually the first scan in the record. It is a handling step, not a delivery, and the item still has to reach a delivery office before it goes out on a round.
The postman tried to hand the item over and could not. The post files a reason beside it, such as an incorrect or incomplete address, or an unavailable addressee, and sometimes an action such as holding the item or returning it to the sender. Contact the delivery office named in the scan.
No. The lookup needs the item code; a recipient name, address or shop order number is not a substitute. Ask the sender for the posting receipt. If a shop gave you only an order number, ask it for the postal item code it handed over to the post.
No. Track91 is an independent tracking service and is not affiliated with Correos de El Salvador or the Direccion General de Correos. It reads the operator public tracking record only. Send delivery instructions, claims, customs questions and complaints to the post through its own official channels.
