UPS Address Validation compares an address to a standard database of address possibilities. A successful validation attempt indicates that the address information you provided exists in the database.

Validating your shipping address can help ensure prompt and accurate delivery of your package. However, an exact match does not guarantee that the physical address exists, or that the intended company or recipient occupies the address provided.

The following examples demonstrate results you may receive when attempting to verify an address:

Example 1: Accurate Address: In this example, you are attempting to confirm an address of one of your regular customers in Chicago.
Address Entered:
3258 N. Sheffield Ave.
Chicago IL, 60657
UPS Address Validation Response:
3258 N. Sheffield Ave.
Chicago, IL 60657-2211
Proper UPS Address:
3258 N. Sheffield Ave.
Chicago, IL 60657-2211
Result: The address you entered matched the database. UPS Address Validation verified your address and provided the ZIP+4.

Example 2: Invalid Postal Code: In this example, you are attempting to ship your package to a hotel in Beverly Hills, and you inadvertently mistype the postal code.
Address Entered:
9882 Santa Monica Boulevard
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
UPS Address Validation Response:
9882 Santa Monica Blvd.
Beverly Hills, CA 90212-1605
Proper UPS Address:
9882 Santa Monica Blvd.
Beverly Hills, CA 90212-1605
Result: UPS Address Validation found the address in the postal code 90212, not in 90210.
Explanation: Using your original address may have resulted in shipping delays and an Address Correction charge.

Zip codes, postcodes, mailing addresses Dubai, UAE

List of Dubai and UAE zip codes and postal codes

This is a short list. There isn't anywhere in Dubai or UAE that uses a zip code or postcode for mail delivery. Try 00000 if you are forced to use one.

Confusion arises because all UAE mail is delivered to a PO Box, e.g. 'Somebody, PO Box 12345, Dubai, UAE'. If mail is addressed as 'Somebody, Dubai 12345, UAE' without the text 'PO Box', it will still be delivered successfully but it looks there is a postcode for Dubai rather than a PO Box.

Mailing addresses for Dubai and UAE

• You need a PO Box number for any post office delivered mail in the UAE. Don't get PO Box mixed up with postcodes or zip codes. Sharjah started to introduce a 'Postal Code System' in 2015 but they are GIS building location codes rather than mail delivery codes for areas.
• Some confusion might result from the Universal Postal Union (UPU) UAE member page 'Search for a postcode' link going to the EPG list of locations with Public PO Box numbers. Don't use a public PO Box address unless you know that is what you want to do.
• Don't use a street address when addressing mail for the UAE that goes through the postal system. It won't normally be delivered there.

Mailing address formats used in the UAE

Replace '12345' with the correct PO Box number. Don't use hyphens or spaces in the PO Box number (although mail will usually still be delivered correctly if there are hypens or spaces e.g. '12 345' or '123-45').

Either UAE or United Arab Emirates can be used for country name (when sent from English speaking countries). Use the relevant abbreviation or full name from non-English speaking countries.

What to do if a zip code or postcode is required for mail to the UAE?

There are often situations where a company requires a zip code for a delivery or mailing address in the UAE, for example Amazon, AliExpress, other ecommerce and online shopping websites. In that case, use 00000 as a default zip code for anywhere in the UAE.

Here is a list of our suggestions for UAE zip codes or postcodes to use, in order of preference (our opinion only).

1. Try leaving the zip code or postcode field blank, or type a space.
2. 00000 or 0000 - seems to work fine for us most of the time. Use 'zeros' not 'ohs'.
3. A 3 letter code for a city or emirate (not always the same as the airport code) e.g. DXB for Dubai, AUH for Abu Dhabi, but RAK for Ras Al Khaimah (not the airport code which is RKT). Or try using UAE for the postcode, and then enter United Arab Emirates for the country.
4. Your UAE mobile number starting with 05 e.g. 05012345 (that's not a real UAE mobile number). The advantage with this is that if there is an address or delivery problem, the post office in the UAE will sometimes phone your mobile to try to get the item delivered - more likely with parcels and packages than with letters.
5. Make something up if there is a restrictive zip code or postcode format expected. You might need to check validity online for the relevant country if the submission form requires a valid postcode, not just a valid format. But realistically, if you are forced to try this method online, you should really question whether or not you really want to be dealing with a company that has such a clumsy website user interface. Also, watch out that the country choice doesn't change even if you had set it to UAE already. One more problem with countries that use 5-digit postal codes is that the postcode could easily be confused with the UAE PO Box number resulting in a mail delivery error. Some country examples:
• France Code Postal: 5 digits (numerical only).
• Germany Postleitzahl (PLZ): 5 digits (numericial only).
• Great Britain or United Kingdom postcode: 2-4 alphanumeric characters, a space, then 3 alphanumeric characters e.g. A1BC 2DE (not an actual valid postcode). There are restrictions on which character set is used in each position, details not covered here since this page is about the UAE postal delivery system, not the UK.
• USA zip code: 2 letters (abbreviation for state) + 5 numerical digits.
6. The UAE PO Box used for delivery address. It will end up appearing twice on the address label but you will still only get one copy of the package or letter.
7. In Dubai, the Makani number for your physical location (if you know what it is, there should be a label on the building or fence). The post office won't deliver your mail there, you still need a PO Box for that, but the sender won't know that.

Post codes and zip codes for courier deliveries in the UAE

• Courier deliveries, such as Aramex, DHL, Fedex, Empost, etc will need a physical location to deliver your items. A postcode will not be useful to them, you'll need to give a physical address (e.g. building name or number and street name), or company name that the courier can find, or GIS locator (e.g. Makani, Onwani) if the courier company uses this service.
• At least provide a mobile phone number so the courier can call you and get directions.

Onwani GIS system for Abu Dhabi emirate

• Includes Abu Dhabi island, Abu Dhabi city, Al Ain city and region, Al Gharbiya (Western Region).
• Abu Dhabi Street Address, Geonames and Signage System (ADAGS) Project = Onwani (means My Address in English).

Sharjah Postal Code System (PCS) for GIS

The Sharjah Urban Planning Council (UPC, SUPC) started introducing an location address system in 2015, called the 'Sharjah Postal Code System (PCS)', similar to the Makani 10-digit address locating system introduced in Dubai, and Onwani in Abu Dhabi. Although these systems can be used for deliveries, they are different from more general area post codes or zip codes which are often used in other countries for addressing mail delivered by post office systems. The GIS reference numbers are unique and specific to individual buildings.

Since the UAE postal service is unlikely to start introducing free mail delivery services to the general public in the forseeable future (paid mail delivery is available), the Sharjah Postal Code is not required when addressing items posted to you if you live in Sharjah. You will still need a PO Box as of 2015 ... 2016 ... 2017 ... 2018 ... 2019. Unless using a paid for delivery service (courier or post office), in which case the Postal Code might be used.

• 2017 Apr 02 (press release): The SUPC announced that the pilot phase of the Postal Code System (PCS) was complete, and full implementation of about 102,000 postal code signboards in Sharjah would begin (102,076 signs). Locators appear to be 5 digit numbers.
• 2015 Apr 18 (WAM): Sharjah Urban Planning Council (SUPC, SHJ-UPC) announced that postal codes would be introduced in the emirate of Sharjah. Every building location would have its own individual postal code, to be used for GIS reference, quicker access for emergency services, and possibly mail delivery. A mobile app to look up post codes was also announced.
