When completing forms or brochures that require an individual’s postal code, many people look for a Sharjah postal code. But Sharjah has no postal code or any ZIP code system. In the UAE, delivering mail is not done by postal code; instead, letters are delivered through P.O. Boxes in the area. A postal code is required for a site or application; the following input formats are generally acceptable:
00000
N/A
Leave the field blank (if allowed)
These have been common conventions in cases where the form requires a ZIP or postal code.
