Postal codes in Namibia


After 28 years without a postal code system in Namibia, the national postal service provider NamPost introduced new postal codes in December 2018.
They are made of five digits whereas the first two stand for the region, the last two for the post office and the third digit is always a 0.

Former South African post codes

Before independence in 1990, when the country was under South African administration, it formed part of that country's post code system, but following independence, use of post codes was discontinued.
South West Africa, including the enclave of Walvis Bay, was allocated the number range 9000–9299.
