Iraq Postal Codes
If you are filling out an Iraq address, use the 5-digit postal code only when you can match it to the city area or post office. Iraq does have postal codes, but they are not something you should guess from the country name alone. The city, district, and local delivery area still matter.
A realistic Baghdad address would look like this: Abu Nuwas Street, Karrada, Baghdad 10001, Iraq. For central Baghdad, 10001 is a code people often run into, but it should not be treated as the code for every Baghdad address. Mansour, Kadhimiya, Sadr City, Jadriya, or outer parts of Baghdad may use different codes even when the city line still says Baghdad.
A soft way to read Iraq codes is this: Baghdad often uses 100xx-style codes, Basra commonly appears with 610xx-style codes, Mosul with 410xx-style codes, Erbil with 440xx-style codes, and Najaf with 540xx-style codes. That is useful for spotting obvious mismatches, but it is practical guidance, not an official street-by-street rule.
Iraq Post is the natural reference source for checking local postal details, and UPU-style addressing guidance treats the postcode as part of the locality line rather than a loose country code. For important mail, it is better to copy the postal code from the sender’s full address or confirm it through a postal lookup.
So if a form only says “Baghdad,” do not automatically enter 10001 unless the address really points to that central delivery area. Use the district, street, office name, or P.O. box first. For less central areas, add a neighborhood, landmark, and phone number so the address does not depend on one guessed code.
