The Kenya Postal Corporation (<a href=\"https:\/\/posta.co.ke\/\">Posta Kenya<\/a>) established this postal code system in 1977 to organize mail delivery across Kenya&#8217;s capital. Each of Nairobi&#8217;s 17 constituencies has a dedicated postal code, making it easy to identify your area&#8217;s specific code for faster mail delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike in some countries, where postal codes include alphabetic characters, Kenya&#8217;s postal codes are represented by only 5 digits, regardless of region. This numerical system makes the codes easier to remember and reduces errors when filling out forms or addressing mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Posta Kenya system divides Nairobi into a logical structure in which the first two digits identify the broader geographical region. For Nairobi, <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">the prefix is consistently&nbsp;<strong>00<\/strong>, which immediately signals to postal workers that the destination is within the<\/span> city. The last three digits pinpoint the specific delivery office or area within Nairobi, determined by your local post office location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The postal code system in Nairobi is more sophisticated than many people realize. The city is organized into multiple postal zones, with <strong>45 operational post offices<\/strong> spread across <strong>17 constituencies<\/strong> and <strong>6 main postal regions<\/strong>, and each postal code serves a specific purpose in routing mail efficiently to the correct sorting facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi_Posta_House-1024x681.jpeg\" alt=\"Nairobi GPO headquarters postal code 00100\" class=\"wp-image-65\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi_Posta_House-1024x681.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi_Posta_House-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi_Posta_House-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi_Posta_House-850x565.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi_Posta_House.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Nairobi General Post Office (GPO) building on Haile Selassie Avenue <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-critical-information-how-mail-works-in-nairobi\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Critical Information: How Mail Works in Nairobi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> Nairobi does <strong>NOT<\/strong> use street-level home delivery for most residential areas. All mail must be collected from a designated P.O. Box at your nearest post office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When shopping online or filling out forms requiring a &#8220;zip code,&#8221; always use the postal code of the <strong>post office nearest to your location<\/strong>, not the generic 00100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For courier services<\/strong> (DHL, FedEx, G4S, Fargo, Wells Fargo): These can deliver to physical addresses using GPS coordinates. Provide your postal code AND detailed directions with landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MPost Digital Service:<\/strong> Posta Kenya now offers MPost, a digital service that converts your mobile phone into a postal address. You can receive notifications when mail arrives at your P.O.

This code belongs to the General Post Office (GPO), located on Haile Selassie Avenue in the Central Business District. The GPO serves as the headquarters of the Postal Corporation of Kenya and has been the central hub of Kenya&#8217;s postal operations for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, using 00100 for everything is not recommended. Nairobi has 45 post offices, each with its own unique postal code. Using the specific code for your area ensures faster delivery, often saving 1-3 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-how-nairobi-postal-codes-are-structured\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Nairobi Postal Codes Are Structured<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every Nairobi postal code follows a simple 5-digit format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Position<\/th><th>Digits<\/th><th>Meaning<\/th><th>Example<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1-2<\/td><td><strong>00<\/strong><\/td><td>Nairobi region identifier<\/td><td>00XXX = Nairobi<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3-5<\/td><td><strong>XXX<\/strong><\/td><td>Specific post office\/delivery area<\/td><td>00<strong>100<\/strong> = GPO<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi-GPO-Code.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi-GPO-Code.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi-GPO-Code-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi-GPO-Code-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Nairobi-GPO-Code-850x464.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-common-examples\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Examples:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Postal Code<\/th><th>Post Office<\/th><th>Area Served<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>00100<\/strong><\/td><td>GPO Nairobi<\/td><td>CBD, Upper Hill, Kilimani<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>00800<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/westlands-postal-code-00800\/\">Westlands<\/a><\/td><td>Westlands commercial area<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>00502<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/karen-postal-code-00502\/\">Karen<\/a><\/td><td>Karen, Hardy, Langata South<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>00609<\/strong><\/td><td>Kenyatta University<\/td><td>Roysambu, Kahawa<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>00621<\/strong><\/td><td>Village Market<\/td><td>Gigiri, Runda, UN Complex<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-history-of-nairobi-postal-codes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">History of Nairobi Postal Codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding how postal codes developed helps explain why they work the way they do today.

id=\"h-how-to-write-your-nairobi-address-correctly\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Write Your Nairobi Address Correctly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writing your Nairobi address correctly is important to ensure your mail, parcels, and deliveries reach the right destination without delays. Nairobi uses postal codes, not ZIP codes, and every estate or neighborhood has its own unique code. For example, areas like Karen use 00502, Lavington uses 00603, while the CBD uses 00100. When writing a P.O. Box address, always place the P.O. Box number first, followed by the correct postal code + estate, then the city. A proper domestic format should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recipient Name<br>P.O. Box 12345<br>00502 Karen<br>Nairobi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For international mail, the structure is similar, but you must include the country name at the end. This helps international postal systems route items correctly. A proper example is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recipient Name<br>P.O. Box 12345<br>00502 Karen<br>Nairobi<br>KENYA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re dealing with deliveries from couriers like G4S, Fargo, Wells Fargo, DHL, Bolt Food, or Jumia, you must use your <strong>physical address<\/strong>, not a P.O. Box. Include your apartment, building, road, estate, and a landmark to make delivery easier. An ideal example is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recipient Name<br>Apartment 5B, Rose Gardens<br>Off James Gichuru Road, Lavington<br>00603 Nairobi<br>Kenya<br>Phone: +254 7XX XXX XXX<br>Landmark: Near Junction Mall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people make small mistakes that cause delays or returned mail. Avoid using <strong>ZIP codes<\/strong> (Kenya does not use ZIP, only postal codes), avoid writing <strong>00000<\/strong>, and never write just \u201cNairobi\u201d without a postal code. For example, \u201cNairobi 100\u201d is incorrect, while <strong>\u201c00100 Nairobi, Kenya\u201d<\/strong> is the correct CBD format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenya-adress.jpg\" alt=\"Kenya adress\" class=\"wp-image-73\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenya-adress.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenya-adress-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenya-adress-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nairobipostalcode.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Kenya-adress-850x464.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions-faq\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766852538420\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is Nairobi&#8217;s postal code?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Nairobi&#8217;s main postal code is 00100, assigned to the General Post Office (GPO) on Haile Selassie Avenue in the CBD.

It&#8217;s one of Nairobi&#8217;s busiest post offices.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766852975693\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why do some areas like Kilimani use 00100?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Nairobi&#8217;s postal system is organized by post office locations, not neighborhood boundaries. Areas without dedicated post offices use the nearest post office code. Kilimani, Kileleshwa, and Spring Valley use 00100 because they&#8217;re served by the General Post Office (GPO).<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1766853009808\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are postal codes and P.O. Box numbers the same?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. A postal code identifies a geographic area or post office (e.g., 00502 for Karen), while a P.O. Box number is your personal mailbox at that post office (e.g., Box 12345). The complete format is: P.O. Box 12345-00502 Karen, Nairobi.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1770929353704\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does Kenya Use ZIP Codes?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>No.<\/strong> Kenya uses <strong>postal codes<\/strong>, not ZIP codes. The acronym <strong>ZIP<\/strong> stands for <strong>Zone Improvement Plan<\/strong> and is specific to the United States. Kenya introduced its five\u2011digit postal code system in <strong>1977<\/strong>. When international websites ask for a ZIP code, simply enter your Kenyan postal code. For example, if you live in Westlands and Amazon asks for your ZIP code, enter <strong>00800<\/strong>. Don\u2019t use \u201cN\/A\u201d or \u201c00000\u201d; providing an accurate code ensures proper routing and reduces delays.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-posta-kenya-contacts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Posta Kenya Contacts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Contact Method<\/th><th>Details<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Headquarters<\/strong><\/td><td>Haile Selassie Avenue, Nairobi<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Phone<\/strong><\/td><td>020 3243000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Mobile<\/strong><\/td><td>0800 724 900 (Toll-free)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Email<\/strong><\/td><td>customercare@posta.co.ke<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Website<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/posta.co.ke\">www.posta.co.ke<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Post Office Finder<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/posta.co.ke\/post-offices\/\">posta.co.ke\/post-offices<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>MPost Registration<\/strong><\/td><td>Dial *891#<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Twitter\/X<\/strong><\/td><td>@PostaKenya<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/td><td>Postal Corporation of Kenya<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Nairobi Postal Code Directory is updated regularly. <strong>Last updated: 24 June 2026<\/strong>.
