Fotokol Postal Codes, Logone-et-Chari, Extrême-Nord Cameroon
There is no official postal code or zip code for Fotokol, as the Cameroon postal service does not use codes for sorting or "door-to-door" delivery. The system relies almost exclusively on P.O. Boxes (French: Boîte Postale or BP). If an online form requires a mandatory code, 00000 (five zeros) can be used as a placeholder, but this is not an official code.

With an estimated population of approximately 30,000-40,000 people, Fotokol covers an area of roughly 1,200 square kilometers and is characterized by its Sahelian climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. The town is administratively divided into several neighborhoods and outlying villages, with its economy primarily driven by agriculture, fishing in the Logone River, livestock rearing, and cross-border commerce.
