Egypt الرمز البريدي validator
How the الرمز البريدي format works
- Format
- 5 digits
- Example
- 11511
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the الرمز البريدي actually exists
- Always exactly 5 digits with no separators
- The digits step down through governorate, locality, neighborhood, and community; Egyptian Post assigns them, not the newer National Address addressing effort
^[0-9]{5}$An Egyptian الرمز البريدي (postal code) is the 5-digit code Egypt Post uses to route mail — for example 11511 for Cairo’s main post office. The code narrows an address down through governorate, locality, neighborhood, and community in that order, which is separate from Egypt’s newer National Address initiative for precise geolocation. Anyone validating an Egyptian 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, and Cairo addresses in particular span a wide range from 11511 up through the high 11000s, a dropped or transposed digit can produce a code that still looks entirely 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 Egypt Post has assigned it to a real neighborhood. Confirming that requires Egypt Post’s own postal code lookup.
Scope: this page and tool cover postal code format validation only — not address lookup, neighborhood matching, or confirming a code is currently in use.
الرمز البريدي FAQ
What does الرمز البريدي mean?
It's Arabic for 'postal code' — the routing code Egypt Post uses on addresses nationwide, always 5 digits, such as 11511 for Cairo's main post office.
What do the 5 digits of an Egyptian postal code encode?
They step down through governorate, locality, neighborhood, and finally community — a hierarchical structure similar to many other national systems, though Egypt Post's own code list is the only authoritative source for what a specific code covers.
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 Egypt Post's actual assignment list. Confirming a code is real requires Egypt Post's own postal code lookup.
