How the postal code format works

Format
5 digits
Example
11181

Things to watch for

  • Format-only check — does not confirm the postal code actually exists
  • Always exactly 5 digits with no separators
  • The first two digits identify the state or region (11 = Yangon), and the remaining three narrow down to a township and delivery area
Regex for postal code
^[0-9]{5}$

A Myanmar postal code is the 5-digit code Myanma Posts and Telecommunications uses to route mail — for example 11181 for a Yangon address. The leading pair of digits works as a state-or-region prefix, so every Yangon-area code shares an 11 start, while the last three digits step down through township and then quarter or village tract. Anyone validating a Myanmar 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 transposed digit pair still produces a plausible-looking region prefix, which is exactly the kind of error a shape check catches at the point of entry rather than after a delivery goes wrong.

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

A Myanmar postal code carries no check digit, so matching the 5-digit shape is the most a client-side tool can confirm — not that it’s been assigned to a real township. Confirming that requires Myanmar’s own postal code lookup.

Scope: this page and tool cover postal code format validation only — not address lookup, township matching, or confirming a code is currently in use.

postal code FAQ

What do the digits of a Myanmar postal code encode?

The first two digits identify the state or region — 11 for Yangon — and the remaining three narrow it down through township and quarter or village tract.

How many digits does a Myanmar postal code have?

Always 5 — for example 11181 for a Yangon address. Some sources describe a longer 7-digit format, but the 5-digit code is the one actually used on addresses and by Myanma Posts and Telecommunications.

Does a correctly formatted postal code mean it actually exists?

No. This tool only confirms the string is 5 digits — it doesn't check it against Myanmar's actual postal assignment list. Confirming a code is real requires Myanma Posts and Telecommunications' own lookup.
