Kuwait

Kuwait uses postal codes in the format ##### (# = digit). A complete public code list is not published under an open licence, so this page gives the verified format and real examples rather than an unverified table.

Example postal codes

• 54541
• 54551
• 54404
• 13009

Finding a specific code

The national postal operator is the authoritative source for a specific street or building in Kuwait. Codes quoted on third-party sites are frequently out of date.

How an address is written in Kuwait

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

[Recipient name]
[Street address]
[Postal code (54541)] [City]
KUWAIT

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