Azerbaijan ZIP Codes

Azerbaijan uses a “Poçt indeksi” system, which is an alphanumeric format like AZ 9999. This format is different from numeric US ZIP codes as Azerbaijan’s postal codes include letters and have five characters, whereas US ZIP codes are five digits long and purely numeric. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Azerbaijan has 1,597 postal codes covering 88 regions and 1,387 towns.

Azerbaijan ZIP & Administrative boundaries

Azerbaijan 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.
