Algeria الرمز البريدي validator
How the الرمز البريدي format works
- Format
- 5 digits
- Example
- 16000
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the الرمز البريدي actually exists
- Always exactly 5 digits with no separators
- The first two digits are the province's ISO 3166-2:DZ number; a province capital's code is that number followed by three zeros (16000 = Algiers)
^[0-9]{5}$An Algerian الرمز البريدي (postal code) is the 5-digit code Algérie Poste uses to route mail — for example 16000 for Algiers. Because the code’s structure directly mirrors Algeria’s official province numbering (ISO 3166-2:DZ), a province capital always ends in three zeros, which makes a malformed capital-city code — one that doesn’t end in 000 — an easy pattern to catch even before checking it against a live list. Anyone validating an Algerian shipping address, checkout form, or spreadsheet of customer records needs the postal code to be the right length and shape before it’s trusted.
Because the code is a bare 5-digit run with no separator, a dropped trailing zero on a capital-city code, or a transposed pair of digits elsewhere, produces a string that still looks superficially plausible.
How this validator works
This tool checks that the input is exactly 5 digits with no letters, spaces, or hyphens, entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server, and there’s no signup.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
الرمز البريدي carries no check digit, so matching the 5-digit shape is the most a client-side tool can confirm — not that Algérie Poste has assigned it to a real town. Confirming that requires Algeria’s own postal code lookup.
Scope: this page and tool cover postal code format validation only — not address lookup, province matching, or confirming a code is currently in use.
الرمز البريدي FAQ
What do the digits of an Algerian postal code encode?
The first two digits are the province's official ISO 3166-2:DZ number. A province capital's code is that number followed by three zeros — 16000 for Algiers, since 16 is Algiers Province — while other towns in the same province use the same two-digit prefix with different trailing digits.
What does الرمز البريدي mean?
It's Arabic for 'postal code' — the code Algérie Poste uses to route mail nationwide, always 5 digits.
Does a correctly formatted الرمز البريدي mean it actually exists?
No. This tool only confirms the string is 5 digits — it doesn't check it against Algérie Poste's actual assignment list. Confirming a code is real requires Algeria's own postal code lookup.
