Our location dataset for Israel

Israel ZIP Codes

Israel uses a “Postal code” system, which is a seven-digit numeric format like 99999 99, with a space separating the fifth and sixth digits. This means it uses only numbers, unlike some alphanumeric systems. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Israel has 646,508 postal codes covering 73 regions and 1,512 towns. This format differs from numeric US ZIP codes as US ZIP codes are five digits long and typically do not have a space in the middle, whereas Israel’s postal codes are seven digits with a space.

Israel ZIP & Administrative boundaries

Israel administrative landscape often follows inconsistent regional models and irregular public sources, making it difficult to maintain reliable boundaries. Our standardized postal and administrative boundary data resolves these gaps to ensure complete, coherent geographic coverage.

Israel Administrative Divisions

GeoPostcodes provides a standardized reference for Israel’s address structure, ensuring consistent, accurate, and globally aligned formatting across your systems. The dataset captures the official address elements required by the national postal operator and maps them into our unified global schema.
