Venezuela uses a four-digit postal code system known as the Codigo Postal, administered by the Instituto Postal Telegrafico de Venezuela (IPOSTEL). Each code identifies a specific delivery zone, with the first digit generally corresponding to the state or region in which it is located.
In some cases, a postal code is followed by a single letter (A, B, or similar) to indicate a more precise sub-zone within a city or municipality, a feature occasionally seen on addresses in Caracas and other large urban centers. Coverage is denser in populous states such as Zulia and Miranda, while more sparsely populated states have fewer distinct codes.
The database currently includes a total of 494 postal codes for Venezuela.
