Our location dataset for Romania

Romania ZIP Codes

Romania uses a “Cod poștal” system, which is a six-digit numeric format like 999999, with no letters or separators. This means it uses only numbers. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Romania has 38,247 postal codes covering 3,236 regions and 13,856 towns. This format is similar to US ZIP codes in that both are numeric, but differs as Romania’s postal codes have six digits compared to the five digits of standard US ZIP codes, and they do not feature the ZIP+4 extension.

Romania ZIP & Administrative boundaries

Romania 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.

Romania Administrative Divisions

GeoPostcodes provides a standardized reference for Romania’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.
