Khaitan Postal Code
I’m Saleh Muhammad, a Kuwaiti citizen, and I’ve spent more than 10 years living outside Kuwait as an expat. In that time, I’ve shipped documents internationally, ordered online to family addresses in Kuwait, handled P.O. Box deliveries, and helped friends and readers fix address issues that caused delays. So in this guide, I’m going to walk you through Khaitan postal codes in the simplest, most practical way, with the exact codes you need for South Khaitan and Abraq Khaitan.
Khaitan is in Farwaniya Governorate, and it uses Kuwait’s standard 5 digit postal code system. Getting the correct code is a small detail that makes a big difference, especially if you are dealing with courier deliveries, online shopping, civil ID related mail, or embassy paperwork.
Khaitan postal codes in Kuwait: what you need to know first
What is a postal code or zip code in Kuwait?
In Kuwait, postal codes are 5 digits. Each area has a general code, and then many areas are split further by blocks. The goal is simple: faster sorting and accurate delivery.
If you are filling an address form online, the website might call it:
- Postal code
- Zip code
- Postcode
In Kuwait, they all mean the same thing: the 5 digit code Kuwait Post uses to route mail correctly.
The most important confusion: Block codes vs P.O. Box codes
This is where most people make mistakes in Khaitan.
1) Block wise postal codes (home or building delivery)
Use these when you are delivering to a physical location such as:
- An apartment
- A house
- A shop
- An office building
Example: “Khaitan Block 5 postal code” is for physical addresses in Block 5.
2) P.O. Box postal codes (post office box delivery)
Use these only when mail is going to a P.O. Box at the post office, not to a home.
Example: “South Khaitan P.O. Box 850” needs a P.O. Box range code, not a block code.
From my experience, choosing the wrong type is one of the top reasons packages get delayed or returned, especially with international sellers and courier companies.
Quick facts at a glance (Khaitan 2026)
Here is a simple overview before we go into the detailed tables.
| Category | What it means | When you should use it |
|---|---|---|
| General area postal code | Code for the post office or the area overall | When a form does not accept block details, or when you are referencing the post office |
| Block wise postal code | Code for each block number | For deliveries to buildings and homes |
| P.O. Box postal code | Code based on your P.O. Box number range | Only if you receive mail through a P.O. Box |
South Khaitan postal code (2026)
South Khaitan is one of the most searched locations in Khaitan because it has many residential buildings, offices, and frequent courier deliveries.
General postal code for South Khaitan
| Location | Postal Code |
|---|---|
| South Khaitan Post Office | 83050 |
If you are unsure which block code to use, this general code can sometimes work for basic forms. But whenever possible, use the block code that matches the address.

My personal tip: when you save your address in Amazon, Talabat, Deliveroo, or any courier app, save it with the block code once, and you will avoid repeated delivery calls later.
South Khaitan P.O. Box postal codes (2026)
Now let’s cover the P.O. Box side clearly.
If you have a P.O. Box, your postal code is determined by the range your box number falls into. For example, P.O. Box 75 is not the same as P.O. Box 750.
South Khaitan P.O. Box range table
| P.O. Box Range | Postal Code |
|---|---|
| 1 to 100 | 83901 |
| 101 to 200 | 83902 |
| 201 to 300 | 83903 |
| 301 to 400 | 83904 |
| 401 to 500 | 83905 |
| 501 to 600 | 83906 |
| 601 to 700 | 83907 |
| 701 to 800 | 83908 |
| 801 to 900 | 83909 |
| 901 to 1000 | 83910 |
| 1001 to 1100 | 83911 |
| 1101 to 1200 | 83912 |
| 1201 to 1300 | 83913 |
| 1301 to 1400 | 83914 |
| 1401 to 1500 | 83915 |
| 1501 to 1600 | 83916 |
| 1601 to 1700 | 83917 |
| 1701 to 1800 | 83918 |
| 1801 to 1900 | 83919 |
| 1901 to 2000 | 83920 |
Note from what I’ve seen over the years: the pattern continues beyond 2000, and commonly continues up to 83940 for 4000 range boxes. Because P.O. Box allocations can be updated, I always recommend confirming with the South Khaitan post office if you are dealing with important documents like bank cards, embassy mail, or legal papers.

Abraq Khaitan is often listed separately because it has its own general area code and block structure.

How to choose the correct Khaitan postal code in 30 seconds
When readers message me about this, I tell them to follow this quick checklist:
- Are you receiving mail at a home or building?
- Yes: use the block wise code (83051 to 83060 for South Khaitan blocks, or 83001 to 83010 for Abraq Khaitan blocks)
- No: go to step 2
- Are you receiving mail in a P.O. Box?
- Yes: use the P.O. Box range code (83901 to 83920 and continuing by pattern)
- No: use the general area code (83050 for South Khaitan post office or 83000 for Abraq Khaitan area)
Correct address format for Khaitan (copy and paste example)
A lot of delivery problems are not just postal code problems. It is also how the address is written. Here is a clean format that works well for Kuwait:
Example for a physical address (South Khaitan)
Name: Your Full Name
Area: South Khaitan
Block: 5
Street: Street number or name
Building: Building number or name
Floor: 3
Apartment: 12
Governorate: Farwaniya
Postal Code: 83055
Country: Kuwait
Example for a P.O. Box address (South Khaitan)
Name: Your Full Name
P.O. Box: 875
Post Office: South Khaitan
Governorate: Farwaniya
Postal Code: 83909
Country: Kuwait
In my experience, writing both the area and block even when not required helps couriers and local drivers a lot.
Common mistakes I see (and how you can avoid them)
Mistake 1: Using the Abraq Khaitan code for South Khaitan (or the opposite)
They are close, but the routing can differ. If you live in South Khaitan Block 7, you should not use Abraq Khaitan Block 7.
Mistake 2: Using the South Khaitan post office code for every address
83050 is useful, but block codes are more precise. If your building is in Block 2, use 83052.
Mistake 3: Using a block code for a P.O. Box delivery
If your mail goes to a P.O. Box, use the P.O. Box range code table, not the block table.
Mistake 4: Leaving postal code blank on international websites
Some websites will still ship, but it increases the chances of delays. If the form forces 5 digits, use the most accurate block code you can.
FAQ: Khaitan postal codes
Is there any difference between zip code and postal code in Kuwait?
No. People say zip code because of US based forms, but in Kuwait it is still the 5 digit postal code.
What if I do not know my block number?
Check your rental contract, your building address plate, or ask your building guard. If you tell me your area (South Khaitan or Abraq Khaitan) and block, you can match it directly in the tables above.
Are these codes valid for 2026?
Yes, this guide is written as a 2026 update. Still, for P.O. Box ranges in particular, I always recommend confirming with the post office if the mail is critical, because allocations can change.
