Afghanistan Postal Codes

The postal code data for Afghanistan is disputed between sources, so no code table is published on this page.

Google's address metadata records a postal code pattern for Afghanistan, but the GeoNames country dataset lists none. Codes are likely in use, but the two sources do not agree on the format.

Example postal codes

• 1001
• 2601
• 3801

What to do

Confirm the correct code with the destination country's postal operator before relying on it. We would rather show you nothing than show you a code that does not exist.
