South Africa uses a numeric code of 4 digits (e.g. 0083). Because leading zeros are significant, codes are always stored as strings — a code such as 0083 is not the same as 83. Four-digit postal code.

This database currently holds 5,345 postal codes ranging from 0002 to 9992, linked to 18,404 building and address records. Because a single postal code can cover more than one locality or delivery point, the lookup below groups addresses by code and lets you drill into the individual records.

Postal codes matter well beyond mail delivery. Couriers, e-commerce checkout forms and address autocomplete tools rely on the postal code to route a parcel and to verify that the stated address matches the code. Addresses here are organised as Province → Municipality / Locality → Suburb. When you look up a code here, treat the associated name as a reference point rather than a full postal address — always confirm the street and house number with the sender or recipient before shipping.

Data source: rara SA Postal Codes. This is an imported reference dataset (snapshot: South African Postal Codes (rara)), not a live government feed; CodeReff does not independently verify each record, so codes may have changed since the snapshot was taken.

Frequently Asked Questions

South Africa uses a numeric code of 4 digits (e.g. 0083). Because leading zeros are significant, codes are always stored as strings — a code such as 0083 is not the same as 83. Four-digit postal code.
Yes. South Africa postal codes are a plain numeric string, so a leading zero is part of the code itself. A code beginning with 0 must be written and stored with that zero — it is not the same as the same digits without it.
