What you get back

  • The Short Address — 4 letters and 4 numbers, like RCDA6608
  • Building number, street, district and city
  • Postal code and the additional number
  • The whole address, in Arabic or English

It is the same address you write on a delivery, a contract or a government form.

Why your exact spot may not have one

A Short Address belongs to a registered building. If you are on a road, in a car park or on open land, there is nothing registered at that exact point — so you get the Short Address of the nearest registered building within 100 m, with a small note saying how far it is. A parcel addressed to it still reaches you; the driver finds your door from there.

Looking up a lot of locations

Doing one address at a time is fine for yourself. If you have a list — a delivery run, a customer file, a set of branches — you can upload up to 2000 rows at once and get every Short Address back in one file. See bulk lookup.
