Surra Postal Codes by Block
Surra is a residential area in Kuwait’s Capital Governorate with five blocks assigned individual postal codes by the Ministry of Communications Kuwait.
| Block | Postal Code |
|---|---|
| General area (no block specified) | 45400 |
| Block 1 | 45401 |
| Block 2 | 45402 |
| Block 3 | No separate code assigned |
| Block 4 | 45404 |
| Block 5 | 45405 |
| Block 6 | 45406 |
The block-specific code should always be used over the general 45400 for mail delivery, courier services and government form submissions — 45400 is a district-level identifier, and parcel routing in Kuwait relies on the block-level five-digit code to reach the correct delivery zone.
Block 3 is the only Surra block without a distinct code in the Ministry of Communications Kuwait listings as of 2026 — residents with a Block 3 address should use 45400 as the general area code or confirm directly with the Ministry of Communications whether a block-level assignment has been added since this was last verified.
Using Surra Postal Codes for Courier Delivery and Address Registration
The /Business & Industrial/Shipping & Logistics signal in this page’s content category reflects real usage — Surra postal codes appear in two primary contexts that require different approaches.
For courier and e-commerce delivery:
Parcel courier services in Kuwait validate a five-digit postal code even when a full street address is given. Enter the block-specific code (45401–45406) rather than 45400 in the ZIP or Postal Code field, then provide the complete street details — area, block, street number, house or flat number and a working mobile number. Kuwait courier drivers rely on phone confirmation for the final delivery step, which means an incorrect or inactive mobile number causes more failed deliveries than a slightly imprecise postal code.
For Civil ID address registration and government forms:
Government forms issued by the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) and other Kuwait ministries typically require both the area name and the block-specific postal code. Using 45400 as a shortcut on government forms may cause address-matching errors when the form attempts to validate against the Ministry of Communications code database.
In practice Surra residents filling in Civil ID address updates find that entering the general code 45400 passes initial form validation but can create a mismatch flag during back-end address verification — the block-specific code (45402 for Block 2, 45404 for Block 4, and so on) is what the PACI system expects to see against a Surra address record.

FAQs:
What is the postal code for Surra Block 4?
The postal code for Surra Block 4 is 45404. Block 2 uses 45402 and Block 6 uses 45406. Blocks 1 and 5 use 45401 and 45405 respectively. Block 3 does not have a separately assigned code in the Ministry of Communications Kuwait listings — residents with a Block 3 address should use the general area code 45400 or confirm directly with the Ministry of Communications.
Is Surra part of the Capital Governorate of Kuwait?
Yes. Surra is a residential district that falls within Kuwait’s Capital Governorate for postal and administrative purposes. The Ministry of Communications Kuwait lists Surra under the Capital Governorate, with codes administered through the Surra Office. The area is also where PACI’s headquarters in Surra is located, making it familiar to expat residents managing Civil ID processes.
Can I use the general Surra postal code 45400 instead of my block code?
The general code 45400 is accepted for basic area-level registrations such as platform sign-ups or general service registration, but it is not recommended for mail delivery, parcel courier services or Civil ID address forms. Block-specific codes (45401, 45402, 45404, 45405, 45406) improve delivery accuracy and prevent address-matching errors on government form submissions.
