Sharq Postal Code 2026
My name is Saleh Muhammad. I am a Kuwaiti citizen, and I have been living outside Kuwait for more than 10 years. During that time, I have had to send and receive documents, bank papers, embassy letters, and parcels to Kuwait many times. One small mistake I kept seeing people make is entering the wrong postal code for Sharq, especially when they are filling an online form from abroad or shipping something to Kuwait City.
So in this page, I am going to give you the full Sharq postal code list for 2026 in a clear way, using government issued block data, plus practical guidance you can actually use.
Quick Answer (If You Are in a Hurry)
Sharq main postal code is 15300.
If you are using a PO Box, you should use the specific Sharq postal code by box range (example: PO Box 350 uses 15304). The full official table is below.
Postal Code vs Zip Code in Kuwait (Are They the Same?)
Yes. In Kuwait, when people say:
- Sharq postal code
- Sharq zip code
- Postal code Sharq Kuwait
- Zip code Sharq
They are referring to the same thing: the numeric code used by Kuwait’s postal system to sort and route mail.
In real life, you will see “zip code” mostly on international websites, and “postal code” on local paperwork. But you can use the same numbers.
Sharq Postal Codes by Block (Official PO Box Ranges)
This is the most important section. Sharq has 20 official postal codes tied to PO Box number ranges, covering PO Boxes 1 to 2000. Each code covers a range of 100 PO Box numbers.

How to Use This Table (Simple Method)
- Find your PO Box number.
- Locate the matching Box From and Box To range.
- Use the postal code in the last column.
Example:
If the PO Box is 350, it falls in 301 to 400, so the postal code is 15304.
Common Confusion: Why Do Codes Jump from 15312 to 15363?
People message me about this all the time, so I want to be very clear: it is not a typo.
Kuwait postal codes are assigned as part of a wider national coding system, and you will sometimes see gaps where other codes are reserved or used for other postal groupings. What matters for you is that the table above matches the official block assignment for Sharq PO Boxes.

My Practical Tips (So You Avoid the Usual Mistakes)
Tip 1: Do not guess the postal code
If you are using a PO Box, guessing can cause delays or misrouting. Use the exact code from the table.
Tip 2: If the form requires 5 digits, Sharq codes are already 5 digits
Sharq codes like 15300, 15304, 15370 are correctly formatted for most international checkout forms.
Tip 3: For couriers, your phone number and building details matter more
In Kuwait, courier deliveries often depend on calling you. Still, the right area code prevents confusion in the sorting stage.
Tip 4: If you are unsure, confirm with Kuwait Post
If your organization has a PO Box and you are not sure of the code, contact Kuwait Post or check your PO Box registration details.
