  • The post office maintains only 21 PO Box records and one street address (in Tofol, the state capital).
  • There's no street delivery service anywhere on the island. All mail goes through PO Boxes.
  • The postal system operates under a compact between the FSM and the United States, which is why the island uses American ZIP codes.
  • Mail routing to this location typically goes through Guam or Hawaii before reaching Kosrae.
  • The database includes three name variations: Kosrae, Kosrae Caroline Islands, and Kosae.

How Mail Works Here

There's no street delivery here. All mail goes through PO Boxes at the central post office. The 21 PO Box records serve government offices, the handful of businesses, and residents scattered across the island. Tofol appears once in the postal database as the sole street address, likely for the post office itself or a government building.

Island Context

Kosrae is one of four states in the FSM, each functioning like a small country with its own government and character. The island measures roughly 42 square miles and is known for its pristine reefs and archaeological sites. Tourism remains limited compared to other Pacific destinations. Most visitors come for diving or to see the ancient ruins at Lelu.

Postal Connection

The postal system here connects one of the world's most remote inhabited places to the international mail network. Getting a letter from Kosrae to the mainland takes weeks, not days. Packages often arrive via Guam or Hawaii before making the final journey to this tiny Pacific outpost.

Street Name Patterns

Island Capital

Only one location appears in the street database: Tofol, which is both the state capital and the site of the post office. This reflects the island's minimal postal infrastructure and the concentration of government services in one small administrative center.
