DHL's real sign-in page is on www.dhl.com. If a link takes you anywhere else and asks for your DHL password, close it. We opened each address below on 9 November 2026.

www.dhl.com

Tracking and accounts start at www.dhl.com (dhl.de in Germany)

## Domains DHL uses

Not a complete list. Each address below can have subdomains in front of it (`www.`, `login.`), and they are still DHL's.

- `dhl.com`
- `dhl.de`
- `dpdhl.com`
- `dhl-news.com`

## How to read the address

Look at the part between `https://` and the first single `/`. Read it from the right. The real thing ends in `dhl.com` or another domain listed below, with nothing but a dot before it.

- `https://login.dhl.com/…` is DHL: it ends in `.dhl.com`.
- `https://dhl.com.account-check.example/…` is not: it ends in `account-check.example`, and DHL's name at the front is decoration.
- `https://dhl-secure-login.example/…` is not: a hyphen makes a different domain, and anyone can register one.

Everything after the first `/` is chosen by whoever made the page, so `…/dhl.com/signin` in the path proves nothing.

## What fake DHL pages looked like

On 5 November 2026, PhishTank listed 22 live, verified phishing URLs that its volunteers labelled DHL.

- **86.4%** used HTTPS. The padlock means the connection is encrypted, not that the site is DHL.
- **9.1%** had "dhl" in the hostname. Most fakes give no such clue, so the absence of DHL's name doesn't make a link safe either.
- **13.6%** sat on services anyone can sign up to, such as website builders, file sharing and QR-code links, rather than on a domain the attacker registered.

Hostnames from the same list that use DHL's name without being DHL's, newest first. Dots are written as `[.]` so none of them is a working link.

- dhl[.]com-paiement[.]fr
- dhl-expresss[.]weebly[.]com

## Report a fake DHL email or page

Send the suspicious email as an attachment to phishing-dpdhl@dhl.com. Some country pages give phishing@dhl.com instead.

## Lures to watch for

- "Your parcel is held, pay a small fee" texts are the usual DHL lure. Track the parcel by typing dhl.com and entering the number yourself.
- DHL says its email comes from dhl.com and its subdomains, dpdhl.com, dhl-news.com and country domains such as dhl.de, and warns that scammers can fake those sender addresses too.

Not sure about a link? Paste it into the [free link checker](https://www.phishclean.com/check-link). It reads the address only and doesn't open the page. The [PhishClean browser extension](https://www.phishclean.com/) also checks each page you open for signs of a fake sign-in form.

## Questions

### What is DHL's official website?

www.dhl.com (Tracking and accounts start at www.dhl.com (dhl.de in Germany)). A real DHL address ends in dhl.com, dhl.de, dpdhl.com or another domain the brand owns, read from the right of the hostname.

### How do I report a fake DHL email or website?

Send the suspicious email as an attachment to phishing-dpdhl@dhl.com. Some country pages give phishing@dhl.com instead.

### Do fake DHL sites use DHL's name in the address?

In PhishTank's list of live phishing URLs on 5 November 2026, 2 of the 22 URLs labelled DHL (9.1%) had the brand's name in the hostname, so most gave no such clue. 86.4% used HTTPS, so a padlock proves nothing.

## How we checked
