Click the "Find a Postal Code" button to open the official Canadian directory in a new tab.

• Start by typing the street address, city, or province.
• The system will automatically generate a dropdown list of matching addresses.
• Select your specific address to reveal the exact alphanumeric postal code (e.g., K1A 0B1).

Rural Routes

Yes. If you live in a rural area, you can search using your specific Rural Route (RR) number along with your town and province.

Post Office Boxes

If you receive your mail at a PO Box rather than a civic street address, simply enter the PO Box number and the town name into the search bar. The tool will provide the specific postal code assigned to that postal station.

New Developments and Builds

When a new subdivision is built or a home is newly constructed, it takes time for municipalities to register the civic addresses and for the national postal database to update.

If your property is brand new and not appearing in the search results, the postal code may not have been officially activated in the public directory yet. You can usually contact your local municipal planning office to verify if the address has been formally submitted.
