Our location dataset for Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan ZIP Codes

Kazakhstan uses a “Пошта индексі” system, which is an alphanumeric format like A99A9A9, consisting of seven characters with an alternating letter-number pattern. This means it uses both letters and numbers, unlike numeric US ZIP codes which are five digits long. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Kazakhstan has 358 postal codes covering 222 regions and 6,927 towns.

Kazakhstan ZIP & Administrative boundaries

Kazakhstan administrative landscape often follows inconsistent regional models and irregular public sources, making it difficult to maintain reliable boundaries. Our standardized postal and administrative boundary data resolves these gaps to ensure complete, coherent geographic coverage.

Kazakhstan Administrative Divisions

GeoPostcodes provides a standardized reference for Kazakhstan’s address structure, ensuring consistent, accurate, and globally aligned formatting across your systems. The dataset captures the official address elements required by the national postal operator and maps them into our unified global schema.
