Iraq Address Format

What is the Postal code (الرمز البريدي) format in Iraq?

The format is NNNNN (N = digit, A = letter), for example 10001. 5 digits, no separator, introduced by Iraqi Post in 2004. The first 2 digits identify the governorate (10 = Baghdad, 41 = Nineveh, 61 = Basra...), the remaining digits identify the post office.

How do you write an address in Iraq?

Iraq addresses are written from the smallest unit to the largest. Iraqi addresses go from smallest unit to largest: recipient, house number + street (or 'P.O. Box NNNN'), district/quarter, city, then the 5-digit postal code and country. The governorate may be added after the city but is optional when the city is unambiguous. Limited public documentation: in practice many Iraqi addresses rely on neighborhood (mahalla), alley (zuqaq) and house (dar) numbers or landmark descriptions, and P.O. Boxes remain common.
