Syria ZIP Codes

Some countries do not use ZIP or postal codes, and Syria is one of them. Instead of a national postal code system, locations are identified using cities, localities, and administrative divisions. The database reflects this structure by standardizing these place-based identifiers into a unified global schema, ensuring consistent validation and reliable cross-country comparisons even in the absence of ZIP codes.

Syria ZIP & Administrative boundaries

Syria 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.

Syria Administrative Divisions

GeoPostcodes provides a standardized reference for Syria’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.
