Postal code, also referred to as zip code, is a series of letters and/or numbers used by postal services to identify particular regions for efficient mail delivery. Synonyms for the term postal code include postcode, ZIP, PIN code, and postal district. Some countries may use different terms, such as Australia's postcode system, Canada's postal code, or Germany's PLZ (Postleitzahl) system. However, they serve the same fundamental goal of streamlining the sorting and delivery of mail. The use of a postal code reduces the chances of delivery errors and helps ensure timely and efficient postal services.
