No, by definition. Whatever a country does for postcode/zipcode is that country's standard.

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.

The first digit in a ZIP code represents a defined group of U.S. states. The second and third digits represent a region in that group, such as a large city. To send mail, only the first five digits of the ZIP code are required.

In 1983, the zip + 4 format we now use (e.g., 60601-1635) was introduced to support delivery to densely populated areas. The first three digits before the hyphen identify the sectional center or large city. The second two classify the post office facility or delivery area.

The boundaries of a ZIP code generally have nothing to do with city limits. ZIP boundaries are set to aid mail delivery. As a result, the USPS may refer to an area by a name which may be inside an incorporated city's city limits that uses another name and still have other names that are used in common conversation.

Your zip code is a short sequence of letters and numbers at the end of your address, which helps the post office to sort the mail.

The Postal Service designates one preferred place name for each ZIP Code. This may be an incorporated town or city, a subentity of a large city or an unincorporated census-designated place, or a small unincorporated community. Additional place names may be recognized as acceptable for a certain ZIP Code.
