Does Ras Al Khaimah Have a Postal Code?

No. Ras Al Khaimah does not have postal codes, ZIP codes, or numeric addressing codes used in countries like the USA or UK.

When a form insists on a postal code, the correct approach is to use:

→ 00000
→ N/A (Not Applicable)
→ Or leave the field blank (if allowed)

This is the same practice used across the United Arab Emirates, where mail is delivered based on P.O. Box numbers, not street-based postal zones.

Official status:
Ras Al Khaimah Postal Code = 00000 (Placeholder)
ISO Code = AE-RK

Why the UAE Doesn’t Use Postal Codes

Instead of postal codes, the UAE relies on:

1. P.O. Box System

Every resident, business, or institution receives mail through a rented P.O. Box at an Emirates Post branch. It’s the backbone of the country’s postal network.

A typical address in Ras Al Khaimah looks like:

[Recipient Name]  
P.O. Box [Number]  
Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates

2. Courier-Based Addressing

Modern couriers — like DHL, Aramex, UPS, and Fetchr — use:

• GPS coordinates
• Building names
• Neighborhood names
• Phone verification
• WhatsApp location pins

This makes accurate delivery possible even without a postal code.

3. Evolving Addressing System

Ras Al Khaimah Municipality continues developing more structured addressing (street names, building numbers), but no postal code system has been introduced.

How Mail Delivery Works in Ras Al Khaimah

Mail delivery in RAK blends modern logistics with legacy postal systems:

P.O. Boxes (Primary Method)

Every household or business must rent a P.O. Box through Emirates Post. Plans range from basic annual rentals to premium doorstep delivery add-ons.

Courier Deliveries

For parcels requiring a physical address, couriers rely on:

• Google Maps
• Location sharing
• Landmarks like RAK Mall, Al Hamra Village, Manar Mall, RAK Corniche, Al Marjan Island
• Written directions from the customer

Government Deliveries

Government mail usually goes to the customer’s P.O. Box, Emirates ID address, or registered mobile number for collection notifications.

How to Find Your Ras Al Khaimah “Postal Code”

Even though RAK has no official postal codes, you may need one for:

• E-commerce orders
• International shipping
• Online banking forms
• Address verification
• Travel documentation

Here’s how to navigate the system accurately.

1. Check Your P.O. Box Number

Your true “postal identifier” in Ras Al Khaimah is your P.O. Box number.

You can find it on:

✔ Utility bills
✔ Bank statements
✔ Emirates Post notifications
✔ Government correspondence
✔ Tenancy contracts

If you don’t have one, you can rent a P.O. Box at:

• Al Nakheel Post Office

• Al Rams Post Office

2. Use 00000 for Forms That Require a Postal Code

When a website requires a ZIP or postal code:

Use → 00000

This is widely accepted by e-commerce platforms like:

• Amazon
• Shein
• Noon
• AliExpress

• Emirates Post Marketplace

3. Ask Emirates Post

If you need help with mail delivery:

✔ Call Emirates Post customer service
✔ Visit the nearest post office
✔ Use the Emirates Post website’s P.O. Box services

They can verify the correct mailing format for your area.

4. Check Google Maps

Google Maps sometimes displays pseudo-postal codes for location indexing.
These are NOT official UAE postal codes but may appear on digital platforms.

5. Ask Neighbors or Local Businesses

Long-term residents often know:

• Which post office serves your neighborhood
• The best P.O. Box to use
• Reliable courier drop-off locations

Local knowledge goes a long way in RAK.

Why Ras Al Khaimah Doesn’t Use a 6-Digit Postal Code

Global cities like New York or London rely on ZIP/postcodes.
But the UAE grew differently, focusing on:

• P.O. Box infrastructure
• Courier-based delivery
• Fast-growing real estate regions
• A mobile-first population

Instead of assigning thousands of codes, Ras Al Khaimah kept a simplified, centralized system.
