Postal codes by place

The 60 places in Algeria with the most postal codes recorded, listed alphabetically. Larger towns link to their own page.

Watch the leading zero

Some Algeria postal codes begin with a zero, such as 01000. Spreadsheets and some web forms silently drop it, turning 01000 into 1000 — which is either a different place or not a valid code at all. Format the column as text before pasting codes into a spreadsheet.

How an address is written in Algeria

This is the order Algeria's postal service expects. Square brackets mark what you replace.

[Postal code (40304)] [City]
ALGERIA

A postal code is optional in Algeria addresses — mail is deliverable without one, though including it speeds up sorting.
