Sharjah Postal Code and Sharjah Zip Code: Updated

A postal code helps the post office to sort and deliver your mail and packages faster. But in the UAE, there is no unique Sharjah postal code that is different from other emirates.

Sharjah, like the other emirates in the UAE, does not have a postal code. Instead, Makani is used to identify delivery locations accurately. 00000 can be used as a Sharjah postal code or zip code if it is a mandatory thing to write on your package to deliver.

This Dbd guide covers the Sharjah zip code, postal code, and PO Box registration process in-depth. You’ll also find a list of all the post offices in Sharjah with their respective locations.

Let’s get right into it.

What is Sharjah postal code?

The entire UAE, including Sharjah, does not have any official postal codes. If the necessity arises for a postal code, Sharjah residents simply use the code – 00000 as both a postal and a zip code.

You can use Makani numbers to show the specific address of your destination. Makani numbers unique numbers given for each building. ^[1]UAE.ae,” Makani system, https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/transportation/smart-mobility-solutions/makani#:~:text=Makani-,Makani,-In%20April%202015″

What is the Sharjah zip code?

There is no zip code for Sharjah, so if a postal service asks you for your zip code, just enter “00000”.

Those who are used to postal systems in other countries may be frustrated by the lack of zip codes in the UAE. However, Makani numbers allow you to receive deliveries or send something to someone without any hassle within the UAE.

Facts about Sharjah zip code

Here is a list of a few interesting facts about the Sharjah zip code:

• Currently, the Sharjah zip code or postal code system is not in effect.
• If you’re sending a package or letter, feel free to fill the space for zip and postal codes with “N/A” or “00000”.
• The post office closest to you can solve your delivery-related issues, so please reach out to them when they’re open.
• By including a phone number when sending packages to Sharjah, delivery becomes both easier and faster when there is no zip code.
• If your business conducts transactions with people from other countries, you can rent a PO Box to ensure their mail arrives using the correct PO Box number in place of the zip code.

How to rent PO Box in Sharjah?

If you don’t have a Sharjah postal code, renting a PO Box is the best way to get your deliveries. You can rent PO Boxes to receive or send packages inside or outside the UAE.

PO Boxes allow you to have a private address, which can be vital for some people. Furthermore, a PO Box is useful for keeping track of your mail while you’re on the move, as everything can be sent to one secure location.

So let’s explore how you can get your own PO Box in Sharjah.

Step 1 – Open the Emirates Post website’s homepage

First, go to the Emirates Post website. Click this link: emiratespost.ae to visit the website’s homepage and get started.

Step 2 – Go to the PO Box rental service

To rent a PO Box, scroll down to the “Rent a P.O. Box” option on the homepage and click it.

Step 3 – Choose the type of PO Box you require

Next, you’ll see two options – “Personal P.O Boxes” and “Corporate P.O Boxes”. Simply select the one you need and click “Apply”.

Step 4 – Choose the subscription package for your PO Box

After you select either a personal or corporate PO Box, you will see three rental plans. Choose whichever you need and click on the “Apply” button.

Step 5 – Sign in to your existing account or create a new one

After you select your PO Box, you have to sign up for an account. On the same page where you selected your box, a pop-up will appear when you apply.

For a new account, click “New Account” and follow the on-screen instructions. If you have a valid UAE PASS, then you can use that to log in without creating a new account.

Step 6 – Get your PO Box details

After you sign in, confirm your PO Box. To do this, choose Sharjah as your emirate from the menu.

Next, select a post office near you from the provided list. Then choose a PO Box number that is the most convenient. Keep in mind that you will be charged for the time period that you rent the PO Box when selecting an expiration date.

Once you finish applying, you will be able to see your assigned PO Box number and its post office branch.

Step 7 – Appoint your postal agent

You’re also able to appoint a postal agent. This agent has the authority to manage your mail by accessing your PO Box. So you must appoint someone you can trust.

You have to provide your agent’s name, Emirates ID number, and phone number along with a picture of his/her Emirates ID. This service is free for one year, but from the second year onwards, it will cost AED 50 annually.

Step 8 – Pay the required fees

Lastly, you will have to pay the displayed fees. You have the option to pay online with your bank details.

For a delivery charge of AED 30, they will deliver the key to your PO Box to your location. But you can also go and get the key yourself from the box’s designated location.

Uses of Sharjah postal code

Even though people use emails and messages online a lot for sending letters and mail, postal codes still carry great significance. Let’s take a look at some of the uses of postal codes down below:

More accurate addresses

One of the primary benefits of postal codes is that they provide more accurate addresses.

In many countries, street names and house numbers can be very confusing, making it difficult for mail to be delivered to the correct location.

By including a postal code on an address, you can help to ensure that your mail will be delivered to the right place.

Easier to sort mail

Another benefit of postal codes is that they make it easier to sort mail.

Postal codes are used to sort mail into different delivery routes. This helps to ensure that your mail is delivered more quickly and efficiently.

International shipping

Sharjah postal codes will help to identify the exact region. This makes international shipping easier if the post or parcels have postal codes attached.

With the help of postal codes, ports can sort shipments by country. And when the shipment arrives in the country, the local services will then deliver them in adequate areas accordingly.

Helps with data collection

Postal codes can also be helpful for businesses and organizations that collect data.

By requiring a postal code on forms and surveys, businesses and organizations can more easily collect data from specific geographic areas. This can be helpful for marketing purposes or for conducting market research.

However, this does not apply to Sharjah since it has no postal code. But on the bright side, it also means that you don’t have to worry about seeing annoying ads from businesses in your area!

Final thoughts

The United Arab Emirates does not use the postal code system. Thus, Sharjah postal code and the Sharjah zip code do not exist either. But if you come across something that makes entering such codes necessary, just input “00000” or “N/A”.

Within the UAE, Makani numbers are used to identify a specific building in a certain location inside the country. This number’s inclusion on packages makes it convenient for post offices to know exactly where to deliver them.
