What is the zip code for Singapore?
Singapore does not use traditional postal codes or ZIP codes. Instead, it has a unique system of postal codes called postal codes. As of my last knowledge update in January 2024, Singapore’s postal codes are six-digit numerical codes. Suppose you need a specific postal code for a particular location in Singapore. In that case, check with local authorities or use online postal code lookup tools for the most up-to-date information.
Singapore’s postal codes (the equivalent of zip codes) are six digits, with the 1st 2 being the sector (ranging from 01–82, smaller numbers generally being closer to downtown) that the address is geographically located in:
The remaining four digits are the address’s block number for addresses used by public housing. Suppose the block number has an alphabetical suffix (usually found in newer buildings). In that case, the 3rd digit corresponds to the block number’s alphabetical suffix (e.g., Blk 310A in Punggol has postal code 821310, Blk 310B has postal code 822310 & so on).
Otherwise, the 3rd digit is usually 0 (though there are some exceptions, e.g., Blk 148 in the town/suburb of Tampines has postal code 521148 instead of 520148 since I think the latter is already taken up by Blk 148 in the neighboring city of Simei).
Other addresses have random numbers assigned to their postal code’s remaining four digits.
What is the postcode of Singapore?
Singapore has its postal code system. A postal code in Singapore is six digits long. Since Singapore is small and six digits allow for one million postal codes, practically every building has its postal code. When I lived in a building called 135 Simei Street 1, my postal code was 520135. The next building had a postal code of 520136, and so on.
What is the area code for Singapore?
As it is relatively small, Singapore has never had area codes of its own, and when demand for telephone numbers has increased, telephone numbers have increased in length, from six to seven and then eight digits long.
However, although Singapore is not part of another country’s numbering plan, until 2017, calls to Singapore from Malaysia were made using the domestic area code 02 followed by the subscriber’s eight-digit number.
This code could only be used from within Malaysia, with people calling from the rest of the world needing to dial the country code for Singapore (65) after their international access code (00 in Europe, 011 in North America).
This was a throwback to when Singapore was part of Malaysia before 1965. Still, this arrangement was discontinued in July 2017, with the international access code and country code (0065) being required instead.
Similarly, until the mid-1990s, calls from Singapore to Malaysia could be made by dialing the area code and number. However, this changed, with a 020 prefix being used, hence 0203 for Kuala Lumpur instead of 03.
Can anyone help me choose a good FRM online coaching?
There are a lot of institutes that would promise you all sorts of things, but they turn out to be hoaxes once you join them, and I have been a victim of one of them. But I’ll not talk about it.
Instead, I will share my experience with another institute, Quintedge, which helped me pass the exam on my first attempt with quartiles (1,1,1,2).
Before enrolling with them, they gave me access to the whole course for two days and asked me to pay only if I was satisfied. When I completed 1 chapter, I knew that enrolling with them was an obvious decision (Demos of other institutes were not even close to theirs regarding teaching quality and concepts).
Yash Jain has solved every official question, and I appreciate that he has gone to such an extent for his students. Even though I took their self-paced course, I could attend Live doubt sessions and was part of a discussion forum with other students, which kept me motivated.
Overall, it was a very smooth and enriching experience with Quintedge. Cheers, and all the best!
What is the postcode of Singapore?
We started off having 2-digit postal codes – 01 to 28, from Raffles Place being postal district 01, increasing as it moved away from there (more or less).
The postal code increased to 4 digits to identify a smaller area where the address was located. There were 0101 to 2880 – the first two numbers are from the original 2-digit postal code. The following numbers are other numbers that do not repeat: 0101 to 0106, 0207 to 0208, and so on.
The third change was to drop the first two digits and add a 4-digit code to identify the building or house. HDB block nos did not repeat in their area, so the 4-digit code was the HDB block no. If your block were 123, your postal district would be 120123.
Do note that if you are looking to buy or rent a place in District 12, the “12” is not on the current postal codes like 120123 (which is in Clementi) but on the original 2-digit postal code (which is Balestier, Toa Payoh, and Serangoon areas).
What is the area code for Singapore?
Singapore has no area codes—just a country code, +65, followed by an eight-digit number.
Before July 2017, Singapore could be reached via Malaysia’s telephone system using area code 02, followed by eight digits. That was eliminated in 2017, so Singapore no longer has an area code.
What is the area code for Singapore?
The country code is 65. No area code exists as Singapore is too small and doesn’t need this further subdivision.
What is the postcode of Singapore?
There is no single postal code in Singapore. Every apartment has its postal code. So much so that if you enter a postal code into Google Maps, you will be taken to the building.
Postal codes in Singapore Flyer are six digit numbers.
What number of zip codes in Singapore?
The Zone Improvement Program (ZIP Code) is a domestic numbering system within the United States. Individual countries outside the United States and its territories do not have USPS-assigned ZIP Codes. However, countries like Singapore might have similar numeric designations within their systems. These are commonly known as Postal Codes.
The USPS ZIP Code is a Postal Code. If you are mailing an item from the United States to Singapore and do not know the Postal Code in Singapore (if there is one), write SINGAPORE at the bottom of the address, and the US Postal Service will send the item to Singapore.
So much for the country of Singapore; however, within Singapore, if there are Postal Codes, they are determined by the address. I suggest accessing the website for Singapore Post and looking for postcodes.
If there are postcodes, enter the address, and up will pop the code. Even if you have a postcode for an individual address in Singapore, if you are mailing from the United States, place SINGAPORE on the last line of your address.
What number of zip codes in Singapore?
Our zip code depends on the location. Different zones have different one-numbers
If you mean our country code, it is +65
Nym stands for “Zone Improvement System,” which hints at the purpose of postal codes. I will go ahead and get ‘into the weeds’ of the ZIP Code system to explain the purpose of postal codes.
You’ll see a lot of information when you look at virtually any address. There’s the recipient’s name, possibly a company name, and the address. The address portion alone contains a pre-directional, house number, and post-directional street type (ST, RD, CIR, etc) for most of the country. Other parts of the country use a grid system to identify addresses (i.e., N900 W650). The old RR1 Box 123 addressing system is still in use in some rural areas. And, of course, PO Boxes create an entirely different addressing system.
The USPS recognized that delivering mail based on the address alone would be daunting and developed the ZIP code system to organize the chaos.
Generally, every post office is assigned a ZIP Code (5 digits). The numbers are given from the northeast to the southwest. Based on nothing more than the first five digits of the ZIP Code, you can tell if an address is closer to Bangor, ME, than it is to San Diego, CA.
What is the zip code for Singapore?
Within each 5-digit ZIP Code (the area served by a single post office), a system of Plus 4s is assigned. Usually, a Plus 4 is set to one side of one block of a street in an urban area. As one moves to suburban and rural areas, Plus-4s cover larger areas. Carrier Routes (literally – the Route a Postal Carrier uses to deliver the mail) contain Plus-4s. So the Post Office, based on the Plus-4, can quickly assign an individual letter to the Carrier.
Why not just use the ZIP5 and the Carrier route? Things happen that cause the post office to change carrier routes reasonably frequently. Examples are – the construction of a high-rise apartment building, a new subdivision, and natural disasters that may take out some Carrier Routes. What constitutes a Carrier Route is a business and logistical decision and must remain flexible.
The Plus-4 is a relatively static assignment, and reorganizing the Carrier route is simply a re-assignment of the Plus-4s.
That covers the first nine digits of a ZIP Code. And, we’re almost to your house, but not quite.
There are another two digits in a ZIP Code. These last two digits are called the Delivery Point. If you go back to the Urban definition of a Plus-4, you’ll see why it is assigned to a single side of a single block. If you live between 6th and 7th on Main St, your house number is between 600 and 699. The last two digits of your house number are used as the delivery point.
Using all 11 digits of the ZIP Code results in a unique identification code for your house and for every other address served by the USPS. Chaos is eliminated. And the real purpose of postal codes was revealed.
What is the ZIP code for Malaysia?
We don’t have ZIP codes in Malaysia. Instead, we have posted (Malay for the post(al) code) or postcodes, and we do not have a single post for the whole of Malaysia, as it is like we do not have one ZIP code for the whole of the United States.
Like the US ZIP code, the Malaysian postcodes comprise five digits, with the two initial digits referring to and assigned to a particular state or territory.
For example, if we take the state of Penang, it is given postcodes ranging from 10000 to 14400, with 10xxx and 11xxx for areas within Penang Island and 12xxx,13xxx, and 14xxx for those areas within the Penang Mainland. Each postcode area may or may not be controlled by one post office, and some postcodes may “encroach” another state’s border areas as those areas are served by the post offices that particular postcodes are assigned with.
The postal service in Malaysia is exclusively handled by Pos Malaysia, a government-linked company previously known as the Postal Service Department ( Jabatan Perkhidmatan Pos), before its privatization in 1992.
Let’s say you want to send something within or to Malaysia; you have to include the postcode in the mailing address; from my experience, if your mailing address has the wrong postcode or no postcode, usually the item will be returned to the sender’s address, or kept at the sorting center. The personnel may call you, or it will be disposed of if it is a letter with no return address.
Here are a few examples of Malaysian addresses:
→ Ministry of Education
Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia,
No. 2, Menara 2, Jalan P5/6, Presint 5,
Pusat Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan,
62200 Putrajaya, Malaysia.
→ USM (Universiti Sains Malaysia)
Level 1, Building E42, Chancellory II,
Universiti Sains Malaysia,
11800 USM Penang, Malaysia
→ Alor Setar Tower
MENARA ALOR SETAR,
Lot 99 Lebuhraya Darulaman,
05100 Alor Setar, Kedah Darulaman.
Posting within Malaysia does not require Malaysia to be written in the address, just the state name.
What are the names of countries that use zip codes?
There are only two, the US and the Philippines, the term ‘ZIP.’ Other countries use different terms, ‘postal codes’ being the most generic, used by the Universal Postal Union.
What is my zip code for Yangon?
No zip code system is good enough to pinpoint you up to a block area in Myanmar. However, if you must fill in your postal code at a website, check out this link:
Commercial entities develop competing standards to pinpoint your location up to the block level. Still, these standards have never gained enough traction to be considered usable.
If you are more interested in Myanmar, the data sheets released during the census will be more relevant. The 2014 Myanmar Population and Housing Census

What is the ZIP code for Malaysia?
Malaysia is a country with a postal system. Each post office within Malaysia would have unique postcodes. You would need the address to find that out, and there may be a lookup on their post office website. Zip Codes are only for addresses within the USA.

Is a PO box number the same as a zip code?
No, your PO Box number is assigned to the paid PO Box you must apply for. The zip code is the five-digit code for the office/town where the PO Box is located. Find more info at
Is the ZIP code the same as a PO box?
The PO Box can be part of the zip code. For instance, if you have a PO Box and your post office zip code is 10000, and your post office box is 12345, your zip code would be 10000–2345; if your box number is 1234, your zip code would be 10000–1234. For PO Boxes, the plus four of the zip code is the last four digits of the box number. If you have less than four numbers in your box, the plus four uses 0s to make up the difference, i.e., 0002. I hope this helps explain the situation.
What is a postal code in Malaysia?
This is a cheeky question. If it were a serious question, it would be more specific than just a country; how about asking for a particular providence and city in Malaysia? There are 13 Providences in Malaysia and hundreds of towns, villages, and cities, including Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia and home to over 1.6 million people. So, just Malaysia is not enough information to determine a zip code.
What is Malaysia’s zip code?
