Mubarak Al-Kabeer Postal Codes by Block
The main Mubarak Al-Kabeer area is divided into 12 blocks, each assigned a distinct five-digit postal code by the Ministry of Communications Kuwait.
Verification required before publishing: Available source data shows two conflicting interpretations — Block 1 = 47060 (table version) versus 47060 as the general area code with blocks running 47061–47072 (FAQ version). The table below follows the interpretation most consistent with Kuwait’s standard postal code structure, where the general area code ends in 0 and block codes begin at X1. Confirm against the Ministry of Communications Kuwait portal before going live.
| Block | Postal Code |
|---|---|
| General area (central — no block specified) | 47060 |
| Block 1 | 47061 |
| Block 2 | 47062 |
| Block 3 | 47063 |
| Block 4 | 47064 |
| Block 5 | 47065 |
| Block 6 | 47066 |
| Block 7 | 47067 |
| Block 8 | 47068 |
| Block 9 | 47069 |
| Block 10 | 47070 |
| Block 11 | 47071 |
| Block 12 | 47072 |
The prefix 470 identifies the main Mubarak Al-Kabeer city area within the governorate. The final two digits match the block number when following the standard Kuwait postal code structure of general code + sequential block digits.

Using Mubarak Al-Kabeer Postal Codes for Delivery and Registration
Governorate-level and block-specific codes from Mubarak Al-Kabeer appear across a wide range of delivery and registration contexts.
For courier and e-commerce delivery: Enter the block-specific code in the postal code field and provide the full address — area name, block number, street, house or flat number, and a working mobile number. Kuwait courier services confirm delivery by phone; an unreachable number is a more common failure cause than an imprecise postal code, but both must be correct for successful delivery.
For Civil ID address registration, banking and government forms: The block-specific code is required. Using the general 47060 central code where a block code is needed will fail block-level address matching on most government and banking platforms.
In practice residents of Mubarak Al-Kabeer Governorate who live in named districts like Sabah Al-Salem or Qurain sometimes enter the general Mubarak Al-Kabeer central code 47060 on forms that ask for the governorate postal code rather than the district code — this creates a mismatch between the form’s area field and the postal code entered, which is a common reason address verification steps fail on e-government portals.
