Afghanistan postal code
If you are filling out a postal code field for Afghanistan, the safest move is not to guess a single country-wide code. Afghanistan uses six-digit postcodes now, and the code is meant to point to a province, then a city or district, then a delivery zone. Afghan Post explains this through its postal code service, and the UPU country addressing file also shows the same six-digit format for Afghanistan.
For example, an address can look like this: Jawad Ahmad Niazi, 16 Ziarat-e-Abolfazl St, Murad Khani, 100208 Kabul, Afghanistan. That does not mean 100208 is the right code for all of Kabul, or for all central addresses. It is just a realistic example of how the code sits inside the address line, with the neighborhood and street helping the delivery person as much as the number does.
A practical way to think about Afghanistan codes is this: codes starting with lower province numbers point to specific provinces, the middle part usually separates city or district areas, and the last part narrows it to a postal delivery zone. In everyday use, central city areas are more likely to have a clearer delivery-zone code, while less central or rural zones may need more address detail to avoid confusion. That is practical guidance, not an official street-by-street rule.
So if a form forces you to enter a code and you only know the city, do not pick a random short code. Try Afghan Post’s postal code lookup first, then match the code to the exact province, city or district, and delivery zone. If you still cannot confirm it, include the strongest written address you have: recipient name, street or landmark, neighborhood, district or city, province, and Afghanistan.
