Qurain Postal Code

Qurain Postal Code

I’m Saleh Muhammad, a Kuwaiti citizen, and I’ve lived outside Kuwait for more than 10 years. I needed to handle all the Kuwait-related paperwork and banking transactions and shipping of parcels and official documents which I received from overseas during this period. The process of delivery is disrupted for multiple days because I understand how postal codes function as critical elements which control service delivery operations.

The guide provides complete postal code information for every block in Al-Qurain together with P.O. Box code ranges and the most efficient methods to check the code through official online sources.

Al-Qurain functions as a residential neighborhood which exists within the boundaries of Mubarak Al-Kabeer Governorate. The area actually consists of 12 blocks which people use to identify its layout because blocks serve as the base system for determining postal codes throughout Kuwait.

Quick facts about postal codes in Qurain

Here are a few practical points I always keep in mind when I’m filling out forms or placing online orders:

ItemWhat it means for you
Kuwait postal codes are 5 digitsMost online forms accept them easily as a “ZIP code”
Qurain has block-based codesThe postal code changes depending on your block number
There is also a “general” area codeUseful for reference, but block code is safer for deliveries
P.O. Boxes use different codesYour home block code and your P.O. Box code are not the same

In day-to-day life, postal codes affect more than just letters. I’ve seen them used (and required) for:

  • Courier deliveries and e-commerce orders
  • Bank card deliveries
  • Some Civil ID related delivery details
  • Company and government correspondence
  • Utility and telecom account registrations

Qurain general postal code

General postal code for Qurain: 70700

I personally treat 70700 as a “category” code for the area, but for accurate delivery, especially with couriers, you should use the block postal code whenever possible.

Qurain postal codes by block (complete list)

Below is the clean, block-by-block list that you can use immediately.

Block wise Qurain postal code list

Qurain BlockPostal Code
Block 170701
Block 270702
Block 370703
Block 470704
Block 570705
Block 670706
Block 770707
Block 870708
Block 970709
Block 1070710
Block 1170711

If you’re not sure which block you’re in, check:

  • Your rental contract
  • PACI address details (if available on your documents)
  • Any older delivery label that arrived correctly
  • Ask your building guard or landlord (this is surprisingly effective in Kuwait)

Qurain P.O. Box postal code ranges

Here is the reference list you can use for the most common box ranges:

Qurain Post Office Box ranges and postal codes

P.O. Box RangePostal Code
1 to 10070751
101 to 20070752
201 to 30070753
301 to 40070754
401 to 50070755
501 to 60070756
601 to 70070757
701 to 80070758
801 to 90070759
901 to 100070760
1001 to 110070761
1101 to 120070762

Some lists continue onward to much higher P.O. Box numbers (even up to 4000 depending on the post office). If your box number is above the ranges shown here, my advice is simple: verify it using the Ministry of Communications lookup or confirm directly at the post office counter to avoid mistakes.

My practical tip (based on experience)

When you rent a P.O. Box, keep a note with:

  • Your P.O. Box number
  • The box range postal code
  • The post office branch name
    This saves you time every time you fill an online form or receive official mail.

Why postal codes matter in Qurain (more than people think)

A lot of people in Kuwait say “postal codes don’t matter because the driver will call.” That sometimes works for food delivery, but for official mail and structured logistics it’s not reliable.

Here’s what using the correct Qurain postal code helps with:

1) Faster courier sorting

Courier companies often batch shipments by area and code. A wrong code can push your parcel into the wrong sorting basket.

2) Fewer failed deliveries

From what I’ve seen personally, failed deliveries usually happen because of:

  • Wrong block postal code
  • Missing block number
  • No street or house number
  • Recipient phone number not working
  • Address written in a confusing order

3) Accurate forms for banks, visas, and government paperwork

Many forms require a postal code as a mandatory field. If you enter a random code just to submit the form, it can create mismatches later.

4) Cleaner address records

If you are an expat, you already deal with multiple systems: company HR, bank, delivery apps, and sometimes embassy forms. A consistent address format prevents headaches.

How to find (and double-check) Qurain postal code online

When I want to confirm a Kuwait postal code, I always start with the official source first.

Method 1: Ministry of Communications (official)

  1. Visit the Ministry of Communications website (Kuwait)
  2. Go to Postal Services
  3. Choose Postal Codes for State Areas
  4. Select Mubarak Al-Kabeer Governorate
  5. Choose Qurain
  6. Pick your block to view the exact postal code

This is the most reliable method because postal code databases sometimes get copied incorrectly on random websites.

Method 2: Quick Google search

Search like this:

  • “Qurain Block 5 postal code”
  • “Al Qurain 70707 which block”
    This is fast, but I treat it as a “quick hint,” not the final authority.

Method 3: Ask at your local post office

If you’re already nearby, the post office staff can confirm:

  • the block code
  • the P.O. Box range code
  • which format they want written for mail

The best address format to use for Qurain (examples)

A lot of delivery problems are not the code itself, it’s the way the address is written. Here’s a clean format I recommend.

For home delivery (example format)

  • Name
  • Area: Al-Qurain
  • Block: 6
  • Street: (street number or name)
  • House: (house number)
  • Floor and apartment (if any)
  • Postal Code: 70706
  • Mobile number

For P.O. Box delivery (example format)

  • Name
  • P.O. Box: 845
  • Postal Code: 70759
  • Area: Al-Qurain
  • Kuwait

If you want, you can send me your block and whether it’s home delivery or P.O. Box so i can help you.

Common mistakes I see (and how you can avoid them)

Here are issues I’ve personally dealt with while sending documents to Kuwait from abroad, or receiving shipments while I’m outside:

MistakeWhat happensFix
Using 70700 for everythingMail may arrive, but sorting can be slowerUse the exact block code
Mixing P.O. Box code with home addressItems get routed incorrectlyUse one system per delivery
Not writing the block numberCourier must call and guessAlways add the block
Wrong governorate selection on formsAddress mismatch in systemsPick Mubarak Al-Kabeer for Qurain
Old saved address in appsRepeated failed deliveriesUpdate address and re-save

Conclusion

Finding the correct Qurain postal code is straightforward once you know the block system. Use 70700 only as a general reference, and use the block-specific code for accurate deliveries. If you’re using a P.O. Box, use the P.O. Box range postal code instead of the residential block code.
