How to get a PO Box in Qatar?
If you’re having items delivered from overseas to Qatar, you can apply for a P.O. Box number at Qatar Post. You can subscribe for a P.O. Box directly from any Qatar Post office near you. You can renew your P.O. Box through the Qatar Post website. You can also check items delivered to your designated P.O. Box or you can even have your items delivered straight from your home.

If you’re ordering items online and you want to save on delivery costs, you can use shipping services such as Qatar Post’s Connected, Aramex, or Shop and Ship. With the use of these shipping services, you can shop online and use the overseas address they provide you. They will then take care of forwarding the items that you ordered to your doorstep here in Qatar.

Qatar has eight municipalities and is also divided into zones. If you want to know the zone of the building or villa you’re living in or the building your office is in, look for the blue plate.
The blue plate contains the Building number, Street number, and Zone number. Within buildings, you can also see the blue plate containing boxes for the unit number or the flat number and floor number. You can use these numbers to input your address if you’re having items delivered within Qatar.
