Help and Tips For Postcode Searching

Postcode Search?

Postcode Finder is a place for you to search for a postcode for any location within Malaysia.  You are advised to select ‘state’ first for a more accurate result. Otherwise, the result may come out in hundreds or more because the search text may becomes the common text. It is because some of the location use the same name but in different state.


Example :

Search result for "taman bandar baru"
NoLocationPostcodePost OfficeState
1 TAMAN BANDAR BARU08000SUNGAI PETANI Kedah
2 TAMAN BANDAR BARU08100BEDONG Kedah
3 TAMAN BANDAR BARU72100BAHAU N.Sembilan
4 TAMAN BANDAR BARU31900KAMPAR Perak



The state selection is not compulsory, but if you don't select any state, the search will include every state and the result will take time to come out

After you key-in the search text in the Location Column, you have to tick which search method from 3 Radio Button provided because each one will perform different kind of search method.


Location Colums

Location Columns is where you should enter the name of the location which postcode you wish to locate. The name should be precise and correct but if you are not sure about the spelling, you should enter part of it but it must be more than 3 characters.

e.g :
If you want to search a postcode for "Banggol", you are also allowed to type "Bangg" but your selection for 'search type' should be on "Search location stating with search text" or "search for location containing with search text".



Common Text
