Draft Zip Code Document For Free

That's right ? ZIP Code is an official trademark owned by the United States Postal Service. The ?ZIP? in ZIP Code is an acronym that stands for Zone Improvement Plan, and that is why ZIP is capitalized.

A ZIP Code is a 5-digit number that specifies an individual destination post office or mail delivery area. ZIP Codes determine the destination of letters for final sorting and delivery. Each ZIP Code designates a collection of delivery routes used by mail carriers and areas serviced by the USPS.

The 00000 zip code is described in state data as home to people who listed themselves as residents of Clearwater,Feather Sound,Baker County,Miramar Beach,Tierra Verde,Jackson County,St.

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.

Standard US ZIP codes The standard ZIP code notation used by the United States Postal service uses five digits to identify a delivery area. An example of a standard US ZIP code is 90210.

You are right that the United States Postal Service writes ?ZIP Code? with a capital C?and ZIP in all caps. You're also right about us. Though CMOS doesn't specifically rule on how to capitalize the term, it has rendered it as ?zip code? (all lowercase) since it first appeared in the Manual in 1982 (in the 13th ed.).

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.
