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.^[1]

They consist of five digits, where the first two indicate the region, the last two the post office and the third digit is always a 0.

Former South West Africa 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.^[2] South West Africa, including the enclave of Walvis Bay, was allocated the number range 9000–9299.^[3]

9100[4]

P.O. Box 44

WALVIS BAY

However, the code 9000 was commonly used for all addresses for mail from or via South Africa.
