Question 1

How do I find a city from a ZIP Code?

Accepted Answer

Enter all five digits and submit the search. The result shows the reference city, county, state and time zone associated with that ZIP Code in the dataset.

Question 2

Can one ZIP Code match more than one city name?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ZIP Codes describe USPS delivery routes rather than municipal boundaries. A code can have a preferred city name plus other acceptable place names.

Question 3

Can I enter a ZIP+4 code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The lookup uses the first five digits because the additional four digits identify a more specific delivery segment within the base ZIP Code.

Question 4

What is the difference between a ZIP Code and a postal code?

Accepted Answer

"ZIP Code" is a specific postal code system exclusively used by the United States Postal Service (USPS). In contrast, "postal code" is a generic, international term for any alphanumeric routing system used by national postal administrations worldwide to sort and deliver mail.
