Moldova ZIP Codes

Moldova uses a “Coduri poștale” system, which is a four-digit numeric format, like 9999, with no letters or separators. This is similar to US ZIP codes, which are also numeric, but US ZIP codes are five digits long compared to Moldova’s four. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Moldova has 1,154 postal codes covering 1,002 regions and 1,676 towns.
