Khaitan Postal Code — South Khaitan and Abraq Khaitan Kuwait

Khaitan is located in Farwaniya Governorate, Kuwait and contains two distinct postal zones — South Khaitan and Abraq Khaitan — each with its own code range. South Khaitan residential blocks use codes 83051 to 83060, with general area code 83050. Abraq Khaitan residential blocks use codes 83001 to 83010, with general area code 83000.

What to Do Now

1. Identify whether your address is in South Khaitan or Abraq Khaitan
2. Find your block number in the correct table below and note the five-digit code
3. Confirm your code at moc.gov.kw before submitting on official forms

South Khaitan Postal Codes by Block

South Khaitan is the primary residential zone within Khaitan and is divided into 10 numbered blocks. Each block carries a unique five-digit code in the 8305X range assigned by the Ministry of Communications (MOC). The general area code 83050 does not route to individual blocks within South Khaitan.

South Khaitan Block 5 postal code is 83055. This code — and every block-specific code in the 8305X range — is used for street address deliveries, courier shipments, PACI Civil ID home delivery submissions and bank KYC address verifications for South Khaitan addresses.

Abraq Khaitan Postal Codes by Block

Abraq Khaitan is a separate sub-area within the wider Khaitan district and carries its own distinct code range beginning at 83000. Abraq Khaitan codes begin with 830 followed by two digits, while South Khaitan codes begin with 8305. These are two separate routing zones — using a South Khaitan code for an Abraq Khaitan address causes sorting failure.

As of 2026, both South Khaitan and Abraq Khaitan have 10 confirmed residential blocks each. Confirm any code outside these ranges directly with the Ministry of Communications before using it in official correspondence.

South Khaitan P.O. Box Postal Codes

P.O. Box addresses in South Khaitan use a 839XX code range — entirely separate from the street block codes. The MOC assigns one code per 100 P.O. Box numbers. The pattern runs from 83901 upward and continues to 83940 for boxes in the 3901 to 4000 range.

The P.O. Box range pattern continues to 83940 for boxes numbered up to 4000. Confirm codes for P.O. Box numbers above 2000 directly with your local post office — the full extended range is not publicly listed by the MOC.

The P.O. Box code range (839XX) and the street block code range (8305X) are entirely separate systems covering the same geographic area. Using a block code for a P.O. Box address — or a P.O. Box code for a street address — routes to a different sorting stream and causes delivery failure.

In practice Khaitan residents filling out online forms frequently use 83050 or 83000 as general codes instead of the block-specific code. Courier companies may still deliver using the general code through internal mapping — but PACI Civil ID home delivery, bank address verifications and government ministry portal submissions all require the exact block code. Entering the general area code on those systems triggers automatic rejection.

How to Address Mail to Khaitan Correctly

The Ministry of Communications manages all Kuwait postal codes including both Khaitan zones. For any delivery or official submission, identify the zone first — South Khaitan or Abraq Khaitan — then select the matching block code.

For South Khaitan street addresses:

Recipient Full Name
Building Number, Street Name, Block Number
South Khaitan, Farwaniya Governorate
Postal Code: 83055
Kuwait

For Abraq Khaitan street addresses:

Recipient Full Name
Building Number, Street Name, Block Number
Abraq Khaitan, Farwaniya Governorate
Postal Code: 83005
Kuwait

Include Kuwait as the country name only when the mail originates from outside Kuwait. For P.O. Box addresses in South Khaitan, write “P.O. Box [number]” and use the matching 839XX range code from the table above.

ZIP code is a United States Postal Service term and does not apply in Kuwait. When international e-commerce platforms prompt for a ZIP code, enter the five-digit Kuwait postal number for your specific block. Entering 00000 as a placeholder causes the shipment to be flagged at Kuwait customs clearance.

FAQs:

1.What is the postal code for Khaitan in Kuwait

Khaitan has two postal zones with different code ranges. South Khaitan uses codes 83051 to 83060 for residential blocks, with general area code 83050. Abraq Khaitan uses codes 83001 to 83010 for residential blocks, with a general area code 83000. Both areas are in Farwaniya Governorate, Kuwait. Always confirm which sub-area your address falls in before selecting a code.

2.What is the difference between South Khaitan and Abraq Khaitan postal codes

South Khaitan block codes run from 83051 to 83060 — the prefix 8305 identifies South Khaitan specifically. Abraq Khaitan block codes run from 83001 to 83010 — the prefix 830 with a lower second digit identifies Abraq Khaitan. Using a South Khaitan code for an Abraq Khaitan address causes routing failure because the two zones are handled by separate sorting streams within the Farwaniya Governorate postal system.

3.What is the P.O. Box postal code for South Khaitan

South Khaitan P.O. Box addresses use the 839XX code range. P.O. Box 1 to 100 uses code 83901, boxes 101 to 200 use 83902, and the pattern continues in increments of 100 up to code 83940 for box range 3901 to 4000. This range is entirely separate from the South Khaitan street block codes in the 8305X range. Confirm codes for P.O. Box numbers above 2000 directly with the South Khaitan post office.
