About U.S. ZIP Codes

ZIP codes are a United States Postal Service system introduced in 1963 to make mail routing more accurate and efficient. The standard format uses five digits, while ZIP+4 adds four more digits for a more precise delivery segment.

ZIP codes cover the United States, its territories, military mail routes, and other USPS delivery points. This directory organizes that data for practical lookup by ZIP code, city, county, and state.
