How to Find the Postal Code Where You Are Right Now
New address, holiday house or a delivery at a site with no street sign? Use your phone's location to see the postal codes around you in seconds.
Sometimes you know where you are but not what the suburb is called, for example on your first day in a new place or when arranging a delivery to a building site. The postal codes near me page solves that.
How to use it
- Open zarpostalcodes.co.za/near-me on your phone.
- Tap Find codes near me and allow location access when your browser asks.
- You get a list of the closest suburbs with their street and PO Box codes, and a map.
- Tap a suburb to see its full page, including an example of how to write the address.
Is my location stored?
No. Your browser shares your position once for the lookup, and we do not keep it. See our privacy policy.
Getting the best result
- Turn on your phone’s location services (GPS) for better accuracy.
- Our map pins mark post office delivery areas, so distances are approximate. Confirm the suburb name with a neighbour, your lease or a municipal account.
- Near a suburb boundary? Check both nearby suburbs and use the one on your official documents.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the list show suburbs a few kilometres away?
Positions are based on post office delivery areas rather than exact suburb centres, so nearby suburbs can appear in a slightly different order than you expect.
Does it work outside South Africa?
No. It only covers South African postal codes.
