The Deutsche Post Identcode symbology, also referred to as Deutsche Post AG IdentCode, German Postal 2 of 5 IdentCode, Deutsche Frachtpost IdentCode, or Deutsche Post AG (DHL), is used by German Post (Deutsche Post AG).
The barcode contains a tracking number that identifies a customer (sender) and a mail item. A value that the barcode encodes should consist of 11 or 12 digits:
•2 digits for a distribution center ID;
•3 digits for a customer ID;
•6 digits for a mailing number;
•1 digit for a checksum (optional).
When you specify 11 digits, the barcode generates a checksum digit automatically. If you add a checksum digit, the barcode ignores this digit and also generates it automatically to ensure the encoded value is valid.
