1. What is a postal code?
A postal code (also known as a zip code, post code, Zip Postal Code, etc.) is a system of codes regulated by global postal associations. It helps identify locations when sending mail or parcels, or is used to declare information when users make purchases on international websites that require entering a postal or zip code.
2. Structure of the National Postal Code
The structure of the National Postal Code is regulated in Article 5 of Circular 07/2017/TT-BTTTT providing for the National Postal Code, specifically:
– The first two (02) characters identify the province or centrally-run city.
