Mangaf Postal Codes by Block
Mangaf is divided into 15 numbered blocks, each assigned a unique five-digit postal code by the Ministry of Communications (MOC). The general area code 53700 does not route to specific blocks — always use the block-specific code for street address deliveries.
| Block | Postal Code | P.O. Box Range |
|---|---|---|
| Block 1 | 53701 | P.O. Boxes 1–100 |
| Block 2 | 53702 | P.O. Boxes 101–200 |
| Block 3 | 53703 | P.O. Boxes 201–300 |
| Block 4 | 53704 | P.O. Boxes 301–400 |
| Block 5 | 53705 | P.O. Boxes 401–500 |
| Block 6 | 53706 | P.O. Boxes 501–600 |
| Block 7 | 53707 | P.O. Boxes 601–700 |
| Block 8 | 53708 | P.O. Boxes 701–800 |
| Block 9 | 53709 | P.O. Boxes 801–900 |
| Block 10 | 53710 | P.O. Boxes 901–1000 |

Mangaf Block 3 postal code is 53703. Mangaf Block 4 postal code is 53704. These are the most searched block-level codes in Mangaf — used for all street address deliveries, courier shipments, and Civil ID home delivery requests to addresses in those blocks.
Blocks 11 to 15 use a different code prefix — 538XX rather than 537XX. This is not an error — the Ministry of Communications assigns separate ranges when a block expansion exceeds the primary range capacity.
Mangaf P.O. Box Postal Codes
P.O. Box addresses in Mangaf use range-specific codes that are separate from the street block codes. The table below shows which code applies based on P.O. Box number.
| P.O. Box Range | Postal Code | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — 100 | 53851 | Separate from block code 53701 |
| 101 — 200 | 53852 | |
| 201 — 300 | 53853 |
For P.O. Box ranges above 300 confirm directly with the Mangaf post office or the Ministry of Communications. The P.O. Box range code and the street block code cover the same geographic area but are two entirely separate systems — they must not be used interchangeably.
In practice the most common Mangaf addressing error is using the street block code such as 53703 for a P.O. Box address. The correct approach is to find the P.O. Box range code that corresponds to your specific box number — for example P.O. Box 250 falls in the 201 to 300 range and therefore uses the code 53853, not 53703.
How to Address Mail to Mangaf Correctly
For street address deliveries the Kuwait address format must follow a specific order to route correctly through the postal sorting system.
Standard Mangaf street address format:
Recipient Full Name
Building Number, Street Name, Block Number
Mangaf, Ahmadi Governorate
Postal Code: 53703
Kuwait
For P.O. Box addresses:
Recipient Full Name
P.O. Box [Number]
Mangaf
Postal Code: 53851
Kuwait
Include Kuwait as the country name only when the mail originates from outside Kuwait. For domestic shipments, the area name Mangaf and the governorate Ahmadi are required.
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 for a Mangaf address, enter the correct five-digit Kuwait postal number for your specific block. Entering 00000 as a placeholder will cause the shipment to be flagged at Kuwait customs clearance.
As of 2026, Mangaf postal codes do not change frequently — but any newly built blocks or sub-areas should be verified directly with the Ministry of Communications before use in official correspondence.
For P.O. Box submissions through PACI — including Civil ID home delivery requests — the address registered in the PACI civil records database must match the postal code entered. A mismatch causes automatic rejection of the delivery request. For full details on Civil ID home delivery, see our Kuwait Civil ID renewal page.

FAQs:
1.What is the postal code for Mangaf Block 3 and Block 4
The Mangaf Block 3 postal code is 53703 and the Mangaf Block 4 postal code is 53704. Both codes are within the 537XX range assigned to Mangaf by the Ministry of Communications. Use these codes for all street address deliveries, courier shipments, online shopping forms, and bank or government address submissions for addresses in those specific blocks.
2.Why do Mangaf Block 11 to 15 have different postal code prefixes
Mangaf blocks 11 to 15 use codes in the 538XX range rather than 537XX. This is because the 537XX range reaches its capacity at Block 10 — the Ministry of Communications assigns an extension prefix when block numbering expands beyond the original range. This does not affect delivery — both ranges route to Mangaf post office sorting.
3.Is the general Mangaf postal code 53700 enough for deliveries
No. The general area code 53700 identifies Mangaf as a whole but does not route to specific blocks within it. Using 53700 instead of the block-specific code such as 53703 or 53705 causes automated sorting failure and can add one to three working days to delivery. Always use the block-specific five-digit code for any delivery to a Mangaf street address.
