You will need

- Internet access.

Instruction manual

Open the Russian Post website. On the main page at the top you will see the section "Services". Go into it.

On the left are sections of this page. Skip the Services. Under them on an orange background you will see "Services". And the first subsection is "Search for post offices." Click on this button.

Here you need "Index Search". Select this button and enter in the search bar the index: 361045, for example. Click on the button "Find" on the right.

And in the new window the necessary information opens: "Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Propkhladny, Lenin Street, 100". And also numbers of office telephones of this post office are indicated.

note

A postal code is a mandatory element of the address of any letter, parcel or money order. And it’s very useful. Its presence allows you to sort mail faster - at least in automatic, at least in manual mode. And, therefore, faster to deliver to the addressee.

If there is an index, it is difficult to confuse the final delivery point. In the Kuban, for example, there are two villages with the same name: Otradnaya. But one is near Armavir, and the other is near Tikhoretsk. Previously, because of this, mail often went around for a long time in search of the addressee. Now there is no such confusion, because each village has its own zip code.

The zip code that you will enter in the search bar must always be six digits. The first three are assigned to cities, and the other three indicate a post office.

Helpful advice

If you use digi-post.ru, then, in addition to the address and phone numbers, the map will indicate the location of the mail you are looking for.

There is no map on the index-post-address.ru site, but along with the mail address, its working time is also indicated by the days of the week.

When sending a letter, parcel or money order, do not forget to indicate the correct postal code of the recipient.
