Postal codes are a system of numerical codes used to identify specific locations within a country. The codes are typically assigned to geographical areas, such as towns, cities, or streets. The first three digits of the code identify the region or district, while the last three digits identify the specific post office. Postal services use the codes to route mail and other items to their proper destination.
