How to Reprint a DHL Shipping Label
DHL shipping labels can be reprinted via MyDHL+ (or the legacy DHL Express Commerce portal). International labels have specific validity windows — usually 10-30 days depending on service.

Next to the shipment, click Print Documents → Print Label. A PDF downloads with the same tracking number.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a charge to reprint?
No. Reprinting is free within the label's validity period.
Do I need all customs documents too?
For international shipments, yes — reprint the commercial invoice and any customs forms alongside the label. MyDHL+ offers a 'Print All Documents' option to handle this in one click.
What if DHL has already processed the shipment?
Labels for shipments already in transit can still be reprinted for your records, but the physical label attached to the package is the one in use.
Does DHL Express use tracking numbers that change?
No — each DHL shipment has one waybill number that stays the same through transit. Reprinting doesn't change the number.
The reprint won't scan — what now?
Reprint at 100% scale (never 'fit to page'), on white paper, laser preferred — inkjet smear on the waybill barcode is the top cause of counter rejections. If the barcode area printed with streaks, clean the print heads and reprint; a barcode the counter can't scan means manual keying at best.
How many copies of a DHL label do I actually need?
International DHL Express shipments traditionally travel with multiple waybill copies — one in the pouch on the box, plus archive copies where the flow requires them. When MyDHL+ generates your documents it produces the full set; print everything in the PDF rather than just the first page.
Can I reprint from my phone at a DHL location?
Yes — bookings made through DHL's tools can be presented as a code at staffed ServicePoints, where staff print the label. If you created the shipment but lost printer access, that's usually faster than hunting for a working printer.
The label expired before I shipped — reprint or rebook?
Rebook. DHL labels carry validity windows tied to the booked pickup and service; a stale label can carry stale rate and routing data. Cancel the old shipment so billing stays clean, then create a fresh one — addresses take a minute to re-enter, and the new waybill starts a clean tracking history.
