Watch the leading zero
Some Kenya postal codes begin with a zero, such as 00100. Spreadsheets and some web forms silently drop it, turning 00100 into 100 — which is either a different place or not a valid code at all. Format the column as text before pasting codes into a spreadsheet.

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