Cyprus Postal Code validator
How the postal code format works
- Format
- 4 digits
- Example
- 1010
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the postal code actually exists
- Always exactly 4 digits with no separators
- The island is split into numbered ranges by district — Nicosia District runs 1000–2999, so central Nicosia addresses start with 10
^[0-9]{4}$A Cypriot postal code is the 4-digit code Cyprus Post uses to route mail — for example 1010 for central Nicosia. Rather than encoding province-then-district in the digits themselves, Cyprus assigns each of its six administrative districts a broad numbered range (Nicosia District runs 1000–2999), so a code’s district can be inferred from which range it falls into rather than from a fixed-position prefix digit. Anyone validating a Cypriot 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 4-digit run with no separator, it’s easy to confuse with a truncated version of a 5-digit foreign postcode, or to pad it by one digit when copying from a form built for a different country.
How this validator works
This tool checks that the input is exactly 4 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
A Cypriot postal code carries no check digit, so matching the 4-digit shape is the most a client-side tool can confirm — not that Cyprus Post has assigned it to a real address. Confirming that requires Cyprus Post’s own postal code lookup.
Scope: this page and tool cover postal code format validation only — not address lookup, district-range matching, or confirming a code is currently in use.
postal code FAQ
What do the digits of a Cypriot postal code encode?
Cyprus's system is organized around numbered ranges assigned to each of its six administrative districts — Nicosia District, for example, spans 1000–2999, so central Nicosia addresses like 1010 fall at the start of that range.
Does Cyprus's postal code system cover the whole island?
Yes — the numbered-range system spans all six districts across the island.
Does a correctly formatted postal code mean it actually exists?
No. This tool only confirms the string is 4 digits — it doesn't check it against Cyprus Post's actual assignment list. Confirming a code is real requires Cyprus Post's own postal code lookup.
