DHL proof of delivery
How can you get DHL proof of delivery?
How do you retrieve a DHL delivery proof?
Use DHL tracking or its electronic proof-of-delivery service with the shipment waybill. DHL Express can provide signature or no-signature ePOD options in supported markets. Signature access can require matching waybill details. Provanza requests the record and returns the official carrier PDF when DHL makes it available.
Start with the shipment’s DHL tracking result and open the proof-of-delivery option shown for that delivery. DHL’s published Malaysia guidance describes both signature and no-signature electronic proofs. Its developer support also explains that proof data does not necessarily appear inside a standard tracking API response.
Market, service, and account conditions can change what you can retrieve. The current Provanza DHL client does not ask users for a destination postal code, but that product behavior is not a universal DHL policy. If DHL returns no eligible document, Provanza does not create a replacement and does not label other tracking data as official proof.

Where does DHL place electronic proof of delivery?
DHL directs users to shipment tracking and its ePOD service. In the documented DHL Express market, users can request signature or no-signature proof after entering the waybill.
Signature access may require matching shipment information. Availability varies by market and service, so use the options shown for the specific shipment.
What does Provanza return for DHL?
Provanza uses a request-only flow to obtain DHL’s PDF. When DHL returns that document, Provanza preserves it as an official carrier PDF.
A standard tracking response can omit POD content. A missing document remains unavailable instead of becoming generated evidence.
