Mauritania Postal Codes

Mauritania does not use postal codes. Mail is sorted by town and district name, so there is no postcode to look up for a Mauritania address. Both the GeoNames country dataset and Google's international address metadata agree on this.

What to enter when a form demands a postcode

• Leave it blank where the form permits.
• Enter 00000 if digits are forced.
• Enter NA or the city name if letters are accepted.

None of these are official codes. They satisfy form validation and have no effect on delivery.
