Riggae Postal Code
My name is Saleh Muhammad. I am a Kuwaiti citizen and I have been living outside Kuwait for more than 10 years. I needed to send documents and get bank cards and complete my residency paperwork and use couriers to send items to my family and friends in Kuwait during that time. So when I tell you that using the correct postal code in Kuwait makes a real difference I mean it from experience.
In this guide, I will give you the full, block wise list of Riggae postal codes, explain how Kuwait postal codes work, and share the best practices I personally use to avoid delays with Kuwait Post and private couriers.
Quick Answer
- General Riggae postal code: 92700
- Riggae blocks postal codes: 92701 to 92710 depending on your block
If you only remember one thing, remember this: your block number matters in Riggae.
What Is Riggae and Where Is It Located
Al Riggae serves as a prominent residential area and administrative district which exists within Farwaniya Governorate of Kuwait. The area contains 10 blocks which have been designed with an organized layout system. People become confused about the required zip code because each block needs its own postal code.
Riggae serves as a location which contains significant government facilities that include public service and administrative centers. The area needs accurate address information because of its high daily traffic which enables efficient delivery operations.
Why you should care (based on what I have seen)
When the postal code is wrong, these are the most common outcomes:
- Delivery gets delayed while the courier tries to confirm your location
- The package is routed to the wrong service area
- The sender receives an address correction request
- In the worst cases, it gets returned to the sender
How Kuwait Postal Codes Work (Simple Explanation)
Kuwait uses 5 digit postal codes. In most areas, you will notice a pattern like this:
- The first part refers to the area or district grouping
- The last two digits commonly align with the block number in planned areas
In Riggae, this pattern is very clear:
- 92700 is the general Riggae code
- 92701 to 92710 represent Blocks 1 to 10
Postal code vs zip code in Kuwait
People in Kuwait use both terms:
- Postal code is the official wording
- Zip code is commonly used on international websites and courier forms
Either one is fine in normal usage, but on government forms you will usually see “postal code”.

My practical advice
If a website forces you to enter only one postal code and you do not know your block yet, 92700 usually works. But for anything important like civil paperwork, residency related deliveries, or bank correspondence, you should use the exact block code.
Nearby Areas and Their Postal Codes (Useful if You Live Close to the Border)
A lot of people live near the edges of Riggae, and sometimes the “area name” used by a landlord or a map pin does not match the postal system perfectly. Here are common nearby references in Farwaniya and surrounding districts.

If you are not sure whether your building falls under Riggae or a nearby area, check your block and official address listing before finalizing the code.
Best Practices When Using Riggae Postal Code (From My Real Experience)
I have filled courier forms from outside Kuwait many times, and I can tell you the best results come when you combine postal code with clear location details.
1. Always include the block number
In Riggae, the block number is not optional if you want accurate routing.
What I recommend you write:
- Area: Riggae
- Block: for example Block 5
- Postal code: 92705
2. Use a consistent English spelling
Different spellings can confuse international senders and even some automated systems.
Common spellings you may see:
- Riggae
- Al Riggae
- Al Riqqai
- Riqai
What I personally use on forms: Riggae
It is short, widely recognized, and matches what many couriers expect.
3. Follow a clean address format (copy and paste template)
Here is a format that works well for Kuwait Post and private couriers:
Recipient Name
Block X, Street Name or Street Number
Building Number, Floor, Apartment
Riggae, Farwaniya Governorate, Kuwait
Postal Code 9270X
Mobile Number
If you are ordering from international sites, I strongly recommend adding your mobile number because drivers often confirm directions by phone.
4. Know when 92700 is acceptable and when it is not
92700 is usually acceptable for:
- Basic online orders where the courier will call you anyway
- Quick sign ups that do not verify address strictly
You should use the exact block code for:
- Bank deliveries
- Official paperwork
- Anything time sensitive
- Any shipment where the sender refuses to re attempt delivery
5. Verify before you submit important forms
This is one of the simplest ways to avoid delays.
Ways you can verify:
- Check with your building documents or rental contract where block is often written
- Confirm with your landlord or building guard
- Verify using official government address systems when available
- Ask your local post office which code is used for your block
I always tell people this: take 2 minutes to verify now, or lose 2 days later fixing a wrong delivery.

If you want, tell me your block number and the nearest landmark, and I will help you confirm the correct Riggae postal code format to use on your delivery forms.
