Oman الرمز البريدي validator
How the الرمز البريدي format works
- Format
- 3 digits
- Example
- 112
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the الرمز البريدي actually exists
- Always exactly 3 digits with no separators — one of the shortest postal codes in the world
- Oman Post routes almost entirely to PO boxes rather than street addresses, so the code identifies a post office (112 = Ruwi, Muscat) rather than a precise location
^[0-9]{3}$An Omani الرمز البريدي (postal code) is the 3-digit code Oman Post uses to route mail — for example 112 for the Ruwi area’s central post office in Muscat. Because most Omani residents and businesses receive mail through a PO Box rather than a street delivery, the code identifies which post office a box belongs to rather than pinpointing a physical address, which is why it can stay this short compared to almost every other country’s postal system. Anyone validating an Omani 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 3-digit run with no separator, it’s easy to confuse with a truncated fragment of a longer foreign postal code, or to pad it accidentally when copying from a form built for a different country.
How this validator works
This tool checks that the input is exactly 3 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 3-digit shape is the most a client-side tool can confirm — not that Oman Post has assigned it to a real post office. Confirming that requires Oman Post’s own postal code lookup.
Scope: this page and tool cover postal code format validation only — not PO Box lookup, region matching, or confirming a code is currently in use.
الرمز البريدي FAQ
Why is an Omani postal code so short?
Because it identifies a post office rather than a street address. At just 3 digits — 112 for Ruwi's central post office in Muscat, for example — it's one of the shortest postal codes used anywhere, reflecting how Oman Post's delivery system is organized around PO Boxes rather than door-to-door routes.
What do the digits of an Omani postal code encode?
The first digit represents a broad region, and the remaining two identify the specific post office within it.
Does a correctly formatted الرمز البريدي mean it actually exists?
No. This tool only confirms the string is 3 digits — it doesn't check it against Oman Post's actual assignment list. Confirming a code is real requires Oman Post's own postal code lookup.
