No official Posta Uganda page describes a poste restante service: duration, cost and address format are not documented. The site promotes PO boxes ("Physical Address"), electronic addresses and the Private Bag.

Country's post office: Uganda Post Limited (Posta Uganda) β†—

Unverified leads

  • Uganda's UPU addressing sheet (updated 01/2026) only gives urban, rural, organisation and P.O. Box examples, with no poste restante example.
  • Official "Physical Address" page: a lockable box in a post office, annual rental of UGX 30,000 to 120,000 depending on the office, plus UGX 10,000 for an authorisation card and UGX 15,000 for the padlock key. Individuals: copy of the identity card and a passport photo.
  • Official "Virtual Box" page: a digital address at UGX 20,000 for an individual, whatever the office. The address format is not specified.
  • Official "Private Bags" page: only for existing prepaid or contract customers, from UGX 3,000,000, billed monthly (the page also says "annual fees": inconsistency to clarify with Posta Uganda).
  • Official "Enquiry Fees" page: UGX 10,000 for an enquiry about a postal address. Nothing on uncollected mail.
  • Unverified lead: ask a Posta Uganda office directly whether mail can be held at the counter before having anything sent.

We found no official page about this service. That doesn't prove it doesn't exist: many postal websites block automated access or simply don't mention it.
