ZIP Codes are numbered with the first digit representing a certain group of U.S. states, the second and third digits together representing a region in that group (or perhaps a large city) and the fourth and fifth digits representing a group of delivery addresses within that region.

Write the mailing address of the recipient, starting with the street and city on the third line, and state and zip code on the fourth line. If the recipient is in another country, indicate the name of the country in the fourth line.

The most complete ZIP Code is a nine-digit number consisting of five digits, a hyphen, and four digits, which the USPS describes by its trademark ZIP+4. The correct format for a numeric ZIP+4 code is five digits, a hyphen, and four digits.

Like British, Irish and Dutch Postcodes, Canada's Postal codes are alphanumeric, consisting of both letters and digits. Canadian ZIP codes are in the XNX NXN format. In this format, X is a letter and N is a digit, and there is a space separating the third and fourth characters.
