Netherlands's Postal Code Format

The Netherlands uses a "Postcode" system with a 9999 AA format, which is an alphanumeric system consisting of four digits followed by a space and two letters. This means it uses both numbers and letters, unlike numeric US ZIP codes which are five digits long and purely numeric. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, the Netherlands has 475,387 postal codes covering 357 regions and 2,490 towns.

  • Postcode Format: 9999 AA

    • Alphanumeric format, 4 digits followed by a space and 2 uppercase letters.
    • Nearby municipalities often share the first two digits.
    • Approximately 8 addresses per postcode on average; one of the highest-resolution systems globally.
    • 475,387 postcodes covering 357 regions and 2,490 towns.

    Example:

    • 1011 AB - Amsterdam

  • Structure of Postal Codes

    • Format: 9999 AA, alphanumeric
    • Hierarchical levels: First 4 digits denote the geographic area (1st digit = province, 2nd digit = postal area); the last 2 letters identify a house-number range, street segment, or even a single building.
    • Key challenges: High granularity results in frequent postcode additions; occasional mixed-language street renamings (e.g., Frisian).

  • Management & Authority

    • Primary postal authority: PostNL, www.postnl.nl.

  • Addressing Standards

    • Common address format: [Street Name] [Street Number], [Postal Code] [Town in capitals]
    • Example address: Keizersgracht 123, 1015 CJ AMSTERDAM
    • Notes: No suburb/borough level is needed due to the high resolution of postcodes.

  • Special Characteristics

    • Highly granular micro-postal code system.
    • Caribbean special municipalities (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, Saba) have no postal codes yet; a system is planned for introduction end of 2026.
    • Very standardized and predictable structure.
