The Mishref postal code for the general area is 40000, located in Hawalli Governorate, Kuwait. Each of the seven residential blocks carries its own five-digit code — Block 1 is 40001 through to Block 7 which is 40007. All Mishref codes share the prefix 400, with the block number forming the final two digits.
What to Do Now
- Locate your block number from your building or tenancy contract
- Match it to the table below — Block 1 = 40001, Block 7 = 40007
- Use 40000 only when a form requires a general area code without block precision

Mishref Postal Codes by Block
Mishref is divided into seven residential blocks, each assigned a distinct five-digit postal code by the Ministry of Communications Kuwait.
| Block | Postal Code |
|---|---|
| General area (no block specified) | 40000 |
| Block 1 | 40001 |
| Block 2 | 40002 |
| Block 3 | 40003 |
| Block 4 | 40004 |
| Block 5 | 40005 |
| Block 6 | 40006 |
| Block 7 | 40007 |
The Mishref code structure is logical and consistent — all block codes begin with 400, with the block number appended directly. Block 1 uses 40001, Block 7 uses 40007, and no codes exist outside this range for the Mishref area. There is no separate West Mishref postal code — west-facing addresses within Mishref use the same block-level code as the rest of that block, determined by which block the property falls within.
About Mishref
Mishref is a residential district in Hawalli Governorate, Kuwait. The area takes its name from Mishref Palace, built in the early 1950s by Sheikh Abdullah Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah. Population settlement began in the late 1970s and early 1980s — in 1980, residential plots were distributed across the area, including homes allocated to members of the Kuwaiti national football team following their Asian Cup victory.
Mishref is home to Mishref Park and the Kuwait International Fairgrounds, making it one of Hawalli Governorate’s more recognisable residential districts for both residents and visitors.
As of 2026, the Ministry of Communications Kuwait assigns Mishref to the Hawalli Governorate postal district, with the Mishref (Mushrif) Office handling block-level code administration.
In practice residents filling in Civil ID address forms or e-commerce checkout pages should confirm their block number from their tenancy contract rather than from memory — buildings close to block boundaries are occasionally registered under an adjacent block number, which means the postal code on the contract may differ from what the building’s street signage suggests.
How to Verify the Official Mishref Postal Code
The Ministry of Communications Kuwait postal lookup tool is the official source for confirming block-level codes.
- Visit the Ministry of Communications Kuwait website
- Navigate to Postal Services → Postal Codes for Kuwait State Areas
- Select Hawalli Governorate
- Choose Mishref (Mushrif) Office
- Locate your block to confirm the five-digit code
The Ministry of Communications updates this tool when postal area boundaries or block assignments change — it should be the first check before using a Mishref code for Civil ID registration or government form submissions.
