About ZIP Code 34021
APO AA 34021 provides military postal service to the U.S. Embassy in Managua, Nicaragua, located at Kilometer 5.5 on Carretera Sur, south of the city center. The embassy manages bilateral relations during a period of significantly strained diplomatic ties, with the Ortega government having expelled numerous U.S. diplomats since 2018. Mail addressed to this ZIP code routes through the USPS Miami International Service Center.
The United States and Nicaragua have a complex diplomatic history dating back to 1852, when U.S. Marines first landed in the country. The embassy experienced a major staff expulsion in 1988 during the Sandinista period under Daniel Ortega's first presidency. Relations normalized after the 1990 elections but have deteriorated again following Ortega's return to power in 2007. The embassy currently operates with a reduced staff due to ongoing political tensions.
Despite diplomatic challenges, the embassy continues to provide essential consular services to American citizens in Nicaragua, including passport services, emergency assistance, and visa processing. Personnel sending mail should use the APO address format with the recipient's name followed by APO AA 34021. Delivery times from the United States typically range from 7-10 days through the Miami gateway. The embassy can be reached at +505 2252-7100 for emergencies involving U.S. citizens.
