Mauritius Zip Code – The Stupid Secret!
The zip code for Mauritius is simply: 742CU001 – Note: 00230 is our phone code and NOT the zip code & that’s why when applying to adsense or any similar site asking for zip code you get errors.
May seem like a weird stupid post for readers outside Mauritius, but believe me, our Island is so small that everyone has a problem to find its Zip Code lol.

Personally I don;t think it will be useful in Mauritius, but some sites require it. On some it is optional…so even entering any one works…but one some like I mentioned above… this one only works.

This is NOT the zip code for Mauritius.
I’m almost sure that this is one of the tests that were made over 5 years ago when there was a project to introduce zip codes to Mauritius. The CU was supposed to be for the CUREPIPE region. Finally, it was never implemented.

Yes but somehow (or weirdly since we do not really have zip codes), this one when used on registration pages like adsense works. Google is no more accepting the 00230 one now.

Whenever I’m asked on a website for a zip code, I always put 0000…seems to work.

Yeah, you are right..but “742CU001″ is not recognized when you sign up @ adsense and when they reply you, it says that postal code not included or wrongly inputted… Although they provide it as a sample, then when replied still same thing… use 123AB123 or 230MU230 I think !n

@Nirvanknight, Weird. Coz recently a friend of mine registered with this code and it went fine
Thanks for sharing the other ones too. Did you test them?
[Reply]
LOL, this is quite funny actually because the administration here in France always goes berserk when they have to get info on me as I’m from Mauritius. Example: I had problems at the bank for interest rates because part of them are based on your place of birth and they could not define Cottage, Rivière du Rempart, Ile Maurice.
Facts about Mauritius here in France:
Mauritius is in the group: autres pays d’Afrique.
Mauritius zip/departement number in France (like Nord=59, Isère=38) is 390.

Recently we were asked to confirm zip code again at well known site used for delivery, the code mentioned here worked even if you live in any region of mauritius because the postal service here do not mind about this code. Alternatively you can call the postal service of mauritius to get the precise code (if any) for your home address.
hey.. thxx a lot.. mo pa ti kner..lol.. its true..many times while registering on sites they ask for it..mo pa tiena oken liD..

@Sun, 00230 works on many sites too…infact ANY code can work
But its coz they do not really validate the zip code. However on some sites they require real zip code. And in fact we do not have a real zip code but the one above works… but as someone said above, it does not… weird. But imo it works…even on adsense registration.

the zip code dont work in linkedin..thought it was an error after verifcation on wiki
“The basic format consists of five numerical digits. An extended ZIP + 4 code includes the five digits of the ZIP Code, a hyphen, and four more digits that determine a more precise location than the ZIP Code alone. ”
You gave “742CU001″ as zip code << this is bullsh*t
