What if my area of Multan is not in the list?
Multan has far more colonies, towns and housing schemes than it has post offices. The directory lists 25 delivery post offices under Multan GPO, and each one serves the neighbourhoods around it. If your locality does not appear above, your mail is delivered by a nearby post office and you should use that office’s code.
For most addresses inside the city, the main code 60000 is the one people use when their own area has no separate entry. It is still worth checking, because a neighbouring area may be served by a different office such as Gulgasht Colony or Mumtazabad.
How to find the right postal code for your Multan address
- Start with your own mail. A recent bank letter, bill or parcel slip often carries the postal code used for your address.
- Find your delivery post office. Ask a neighbour, shopkeeper or the postman which post office handles your street.
- Look it up in the table and use that office’s five-digit code.
- Check the official source. The official Pakistan Post post code directory can be searched by post office name.
- Ask at the post office if you are still unsure. It takes staff a moment to confirm.
How Multan postal codes work
Pakistan’s postal code system was introduced by Pakistan Post on 1 January 1988. Each code has five digits. The first two digits show the district or sorting region, which gets a letter to the right part of the country. The last three digits identify the exact delivery post office.
That is why Multan addresses start with 59 or 60, and why you can often tell a city from the start of its code. Lahore codes begin with 53, 54 or 55, Karachi codes with 74 or 75, and Islamabad codes with 44 or 45. You can compare them in our Lahore postal code list, Karachi postal code list and Islamabad postal code list. Closer to home in Punjab, Rawalpindi codes begin with 46 or 47 and Faisalabad codes with 37 or 38, as shown in our Rawalpindi postal code list and Faisalabad postal code list.
Reading a Multan code: an example
Take Gulgasht Colony’s code, 60700. The “60” tells the sorting centre that the item is for the Multan region. The “700” then points to the Gulgasht Colony delivery post office, whose staff take it to the street and house written on the envelope. In other words, the code only gets your mail to the right post office — the rest of the address has to do the final part of the job.
This is also why two houses a short distance apart can have different codes: they may simply be on the delivery routes of two different post offices. The code follows the post office, not the map.
How to write a Multan address correctly
Set the address out line by line, starting with the person and ending with the city and code:
Receiver's full name House 18, Street 3 Gulgasht Colony Multan 60700 Phone: 03XX-XXXXXXX
If the item is coming from outside Pakistan, add the country name in capitals as the final line:
Receiver's full name House 18, Street 3 Gulgasht Colony Multan 60700 PAKISTAN
- Keep the code on the same line as the city, written after it.
- Add the block, phase or sector for housing schemes, where house numbers repeat.
- Give a mobile number. Delivery riders usually phone ahead.
- Mention a landmark such as a chowk, market or mosque if the street is hard to find.
Filling in online forms with a Multan address
Websites and apps often split an address into separate boxes, which causes confusion. For a Multan address, fill them in like this:
| Form field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Address line 1 | House or flat number and street |
| Address line 2 | Colony, block or area (for example Gulgasht Colony) |
| City | Multan |
| State / Province / Region | Punjab |
| ZIP / Postal code | Your five-digit code, for example 60700 (or 60000 if your area has no separate code) |
| Country | Pakistan |
If a foreign website rejects your code, check that you have typed five digits with no spaces, letters or dashes. Some forms expect a different country format until you select Pakistan in the country box first.
Sending mail to Multan from abroad
International post is sorted several times before it reaches the receiver, first in the sending country and again when it arrives in Pakistan. A complete address makes each of those steps easier:
- Write the address in English capital letters or clear print.
- Put MULTAN 60000 (or your area code) on its own line, and PAKISTAN on the last line.
- Include the receiver’s phone number, including the country code +92.
- Fill in the customs form honestly and keep your copy of the tracking number.
Tips for smooth delivery in Multan
- Use the receiver’s full, correct name, especially for registered mail and parcels that need a signature.
- For shops and offices, add the business name and floor. Markets and plazas often share one street address.
- Write clearly and avoid shortened area names that a sorter outside Multan might not recognise.
- Always include a return address so the item can come back to you if it cannot be delivered.
- Hold on to the receipt or tracking number until the delivery is complete.
Common mistakes with Multan postal codes
- Mixing up 60000 and 59000. 60000 is Multan GPO; 59000 belongs to Kadirpur Rawan.
- Using the phone code. 061 is Multan’s dialling code and cannot be used as a postal code.
- Dropping a digit. Postal codes in Pakistan always have five digits.
- Guessing from the next town. Nearby places can be served by different post offices.
- Leaving the code out. Many online forms will not accept an address without it.
Where you will need your Multan postal code
- Online shopping and courier bookings, where the checkout form asks for a postal or ZIP code.
- Bank accounts, mobile wallets and payment services, as part of your registered address.
- Admission, job and visa forms, which usually require a complete postal address.
- Letters and parcels from abroad, because foreign postal services sort by code.
