# Passport Tracking API & MCP

URL: https://docs.lastscanned.com/carriers/passport

Query live **Passport** (`passport`) package status, scan history, and the **last-mile carrier's tracking number** in a single synchronous `GET` request or MCP tool call. `lastscanned` auto-detects `PG…` numbers.

## Overview & Quick Facts

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| **Carrier slug (`?carrier=`)** | `passport` |
| **Brand aliases** | Passport, Passport Global, Passport Shipping, passportglobal.com |
| **Category** | Cross-border e-commerce parcels |
| **Single-package REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/{trackingNumber}` |
| **Batch REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track?numbers=PG12345678901GB,PG12345678901GB` |
| **MCP server (`https://mcp.lastscanned.com`)** | `track_package`, `track_packages`, `list_carriers` |
| **Authentication & pricing** | `Authorization: Bearer lsk_live_...` · 1 free keyless lookup/day per IP |

## Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection

| Pass | Rule / Regex | Check Digit | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (`matches`)** | `/^PG\d{10,11}[A-Z]{2}$/` | none | `PG12345678901GB` |
| **Pass 2 (`mayMatch`)** | none | none | none |

The last two characters are the destination country. `PG` numbers belong to Passport alone, so `?carrier=passport` is optional.

## Notes

- **Handoff**: `message` names the last-mile carrier and its number (for example `"Handed to Royal Mail as GV123456789GB"`). Pass that number to `GET /v1/track/{number}` for the partner's own scans. When the partner uses the Passport number itself, `message` is `null`.
- **Time zone**: Passport's page prints scan dates as "Oct 12" and times without a zone, so `timestamp` is `null` and `localTime` is the printed clock time. The year is worked out from the purchase date.
- **Estimates**: estimated milestones on the page are not scans and are left out.
