Italy's Postal Code Format

Italy uses a "CAP" system, which is a five-digit numeric format, like 99999, with no letters or separators. This format is similar to US ZIP codes, which are also five digits and purely numeric. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Italy has 4,698 postal codes covering 8,022 regions and 36,198 towns.

  • CAP Format: 99999

    • Five-digit numeric format (no letters)
    • 1st digit = region; 2nd digit = province; 3rd digit = province capital indicator (odd for capitals, even for the rest)
    • Last 2 digits = locality, or postal district in large cities like Rome and Milan
    • 4,698 CAP covering 8,022 regions and 36,198 towns

    Examples:

    • 00184 - Roma (Lazio)
    • 20121 - Milano (Lombardia)
    • 50122 - Firenze (Toscana)
    • 80133 - Napoli (Campania)

  • Structure of Postal Codes

    • Format: 99999, numeric
    • Hierarchical levels: 1st digit = region; 2nd digit = province; 3rd digit = province capital indicator (odd number for capitals, even for the rest); last 2 digits = locality, or postal district in large cities.
    • Key challenges: Incomplete frazione (sub-locality) coverage; multi-code districts in large cities.

  • Management & Authority

    • Primary postal authority: Poste Italiane.
    • Update frequency: Quartely.
    • Coverage: Poste Italiane also manages postal services in San Marino and Vatican City.

  • Addressing Standards

    • Common address format: Street name + house number, CAP, commune, province (province often included redundantly).
    • Administrative divisions used: Region → Province → Commune → Locality → (optional) sub-locality (frazione, settled area, or "località").
    • Notes: Province name and CAP are often both shown for clarity, though one encodes the other.

  • Special Characteristics

    • CAP codes are stable and precise, but multi-code cities require district-level mapping.
    • Sub-localities frazioni are modeled as towns in their own right, not suburbs.
    • Bilingual areas exist in the north (e.g., German/Italian in South Tyrol), but postal data is provided only in Italian.
