Türkiye ZIP Codes

Türkiye uses a “Posta kodu” system, which is a five-digit numeric format, like 99999, with no letters or separators. This format means it uses only numbers. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Türkiye has 2,776 postal codes covering 2,421 regions and 49,406 towns. This format is similar to US ZIP codes, which are also five digits and purely numeric.
