Kuwait

Q: In what languages are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset is fully bilingual (English and Arabic). It is designed to support international and local applications. This ensures you can validate addresses regardless of the input language.

Q: What is the critical difference between "BLOCK" and "Box" in the 'block_box' column?

Kuwait's postal system is unique because it combines physical location codes with P.O. Box ranges in the same dataset. The block_box column identifies the address type:
· BLOCK: Represents a physical residential or commercial street block (e.g., "BLOCK 3"). Use this for courier/delivery validation.
· Box: Represents a range of P.O. Box numbers (e.g., "Box 38001-38100"). Use this for postal correspondence validation.

Q: How do I handle P.O. Box ranges (e.g., "Box 38001-38100")?

Unlike standard addresses, P.O. Box codes in Kuwait are assigned to ranges. A single postal code (e.g., 72251) covers a specific batch of box numbers (e.g., 38001 to 38100). Your system should implement a "range check" logic: if a user's input PO Box number falls within the values in the block_box column, assign the corresponding postal code.

Q: What does the "OFFICE" suffix in an Area name mean?

Records containing "OFFICE" (e.g., "ABDULLA SALEM OFFICE") refer to the Post Office branch facility itself. These codes are typically used for administrative purposes or "Poste Restante" services, rather than for residential delivery blocks.

Q: Will Arabic characters display correctly in my database?

Yes. All files are encoded in UTF-8. This is the industry standard for supporting multi-language datasets. Please ensure your database import settings or text editor (like Excel) is set to UTF-8 to correctly render Arabic characters (e.g., محافظة العاصمة) without errors.

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. This variety ensures compatibility with SQL databases, CRM systems, and spreadsheet software.

Q: Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?

This is a one-time purchase. The license grants perpetual use for personal and internal business purposes.

Q: What is the refund policy?

Due to the digital nature of the product, all sales are final and non-refundable. We strongly recommend downloading the Free Sample first to verify the bilingual structure and understand the Block/Box logic before purchasing.
