Hawally Postal Codes by Block — Street Addresses

Each block in Hawally carries a distinct five-digit postal code within the 300XX range. The general area code 30000 does not route to specific blocks — always use the block-specific code for street address deliveries.

Hawally P.O. Box Postal Codes

P.O. Box addresses in Hawally use a separate code range beginning with 320 — these codes are distinct from street address block codes and must not be used interchangeably.

The Ministry of Communications assigns one P.O. Box range code per 100 boxes. To find your code, locate the range that contains your box number in the table below.

P.O. Box codes in Hawally are not interchangeable with block codes — using a block code such as 30001 for a P.O. Box address causes sorting failure at the Kuwait postal facility and delays delivery by one to three working days.

In practice the most common addressing error for Hawally P.O. Boxes is using the general area code 30000 instead of the correct range code. If your P.O. Box number is 250 for example, the correct code is 32003 — not 30000 and not 30003. The P.O. Box range code and the street block code are two entirely different systems that happen to cover the same geographic area.

How to Use Hawally Postal Codes for Deliveries and Online Forms

The Ministry of Communications (MOC) manages all Kuwait postal codes including those for Hawally Governorate. The Hawally governorate code always begins with 3 — any five-digit code starting with a different digit does not belong to Hawally and will cause a routing failure.

For street addresses: Use the block-specific 300XX code. Enter it in the postal code field of any courier platform — Aramex, DHL, FedEx, and USPS international forms all accept Kuwait five-digit postal codes directly.

For P.O. Box addresses: Write “P.O. Box [number]” followed by the five-digit range code from the table above. Do not include the block code — these are separate systems.

ZIP code is a United States Postal Service term and does not apply in Kuwait. When international platforms prompt for a ZIP code, enter the five-digit Kuwait postal number — most platforms accept it without issue. If a platform requires exactly five digits and does not recognise the Kuwait code, contact the sender or platform directly — entering 00000 as a placeholder will cause the shipment to be flagged at Kuwait customs clearance.

As of 2026, Hawally has 12 residential blocks with confirmed individual postal codes. Confirm directly with the MOC at moc.gov.kw if you are unsure whether a newly developed sub-block or extension area within Hawally carries its own code or falls within an existing block range.

FAQs:

1.What is the zip code for Hawally Block 1 Kuwait

Kuwait does not use ZIP codes — the correct term is postal code or postal number. The Hawally Block 1 postal code is 30001. This five-digit code is used for all street address deliveries and official correspondence to Block 1 in Hawally Governorate, Kuwait. For P.O. Box addresses in Hawally, a separate range-specific code beginning with 320 applies — P.O. Box 1 to 100 uses the code 32001.

2.Is the Hawally postal code the same for all blocks

No. Each block in Hawally has its own five-digit code within the 300XX range — Block 1 uses 30001, Block 5 uses 30005, Block 10 uses 30010, and so on up to Block 12. The general area code 30000 covers Hawally as a whole but does not route to specific blocks. Using 30000 instead of the block-specific code causes automated sorting failure and delivery delays.

3.What is the difference between Hawally and Hawalli in postal addressing

Hawally and Hawalli refer to the same governorate — Hawalli is the Arabic transliteration while Hawally is the anglicised spelling used on most English-language postal forms and courier platforms. Both refer to Hawally Governorate in Kuwait. For postal addressing purposes, use either spelling — the five-digit postal code is the field that determines routing, not the spelling of the governorate name in Latin script.
