📮NG Nigeria Regional Postal Code FAQ & Postal Regulations
📮 What format do Nigerian postal codes use?
Nigeria uses 6-digit numeric postal codes (e.g., '100001'). The first two digits represent the state, the last four specify the locality.
❓ Is a postal code mandatory for international mail to Nigeria?
Not compulsory but highly recommended. It speeds up sorting; omitting it may cause delays, especially in rural areas.
🔍 How to find a Nigerian postal code?
Visit the Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) website or use third-party lookup tools by entering city/locality names.
⚠️ What happens if I omit the postal code?
Mail may still arrive but with delays (5-7 extra days), and delivery failures are more likely in remote areas.
📦 Do e-commerce packages require special postal codes?
Yes. Major cities like Lagos have dedicated commercial codes (e.g., '101233'). Confirm exact codes with local couriers.
