Denmark uses a four-digit numeric postal code system, introduced in 1967 and managed today by PostNord. Each code identifies a post town or delivery district, and the first digit shows the broad area of the country: codes starting with 1 and 2 cover Copenhagen and its suburbs, 3 covers North Zealand and Bornholm, 4 the rest of Zealand plus Lolland, Falster and Møn, 5 Funen, 6 Southern Jutland, 7 and 8 Central and East Jutland, and 9 North Jutland.
In central Copenhagen, individual streets and some large organisations have their own postal code. In an address, the postal code is written before the town name on the same line, for example "8000 Aarhus C", where letters such as C (centre), V (west), N, S and Ø (east) mark districts within the larger cities. For mail sent from abroad, write "DENMARK" on the last line; the "DK-" prefix is optional.
