The PostNL App: Track, Manage, and Send Mail in the Netherlands

Whether you're receiving care packages from abroad or expecting an official document from the gemeente, the PostNL app is a must-have tool for expats in the Netherlands.

Why download the PostNL app?

  • Track parcels: Receive push notifications and live updates as your parcels move through the delivery process.
  • Digital mailbox: See what official mail from the Dutch government and other organizations is on the way.
  • Schedule deliveries: Change your delivery date or pick a nearby PostNL point if you're not home.
  • Send mail: Buy shipping labels and stamps directly from the app without printing anything.

Available in English

The app interface is available in English, making it user-friendly for non-Dutch speakers. It also integrates with your DigiD and other services for identification when necessary.

Where to download

You can download the PostNL app on the App Store or Google Play Store.

Extra tip

Registering your address and linking your account allows the app to show upcoming mail—like official letters from the Belastingdienst or IND before they arrive.
