Sri Lanka Postal Code Finder
Find the postal code for a city, town or post office in Sri Lanka, or search a postal code to find its location.
Enter a city, town, post office or postal code to search.
How to find a postal code in Sri Lanka
Enter a city, town or post office name, or a complete five-digit postal code, then choose Search.
If several locations match, select the one that fits your address. Read its district and province, then use Copy postal code to copy all five digits.
Search by city or town
Use a full name or part of a name in English, Sinhala or Tamil. Capital letters and extra spaces do not matter. A broad search can also match a district, so try a more specific town or post office name if the list is long.
Colombo contains several postal areas. Choose the specific area or post office instead of assuming that every Colombo address uses 00100.
Search by postal code
Enter all five digits, including leading zeros. For example, searching 00100 returns Colombo 1 and Fort. More than one location can share a code, so check the available matches before using it in an address.
Common Sri Lanka postal code examples
These examples can help you recognize the five-digit format. Search the specific town or post office for your address; nearby areas and offices can use different postal codes.
| Location | Postal code |
|---|---|
| Colombo 1 / Fort | 00100 |
| Kandy | 20000 |
| Galle | 80000 |
| Negombo | 11500 |
| Jaffna | 40000 |
Sri Lanka postal codes
Postal codes identify postal areas or offices within a mailing address. They help distinguish locations with similar names, but do not replace the rest of an address. This finder shows the location, district and province alongside each code so you can check the match.
If a postal code is marked ‘Not available’, check with the local post office. Include the recipient's name, street address and town when sending mail; a postal code alone is not a complete address.
Choose the right post office for your address
A broad city name can return several offices or postal areas. Check the specific location name alongside the district and province. If several places share the same postal code, use the one that matches the address you are writing.
Copy all five digits, including any leading zeros, into the postal-code or postcode field. Keep the street address and town in the other address fields. If the office you need is missing, confirm the code with the local post office.

Find administrative divisions
Need to find a province, district, DS Division or GN Division? Try the Sri Lanka Administrative Division Finder. A postal area does not necessarily share the same boundaries as an administrative division.
Find bank branches by town name
Looking for a bank branch rather than a post office? Try the Sri Lanka Bank & Branch Finder. Search a town appearing in a branch name and check the bank and branch codes shown for each match.
