What is the postal code or national zip code of Vietnam?

Postal code, also known as zip code or postal code, is a series of characters written in letters, numbers, or a combination of both, added to the recipient's address to identify the final destination of mail or parcels.

According to Decision 2475/QĐ-BTTTT, Vietnam's postal code consists of 05 (five) characters and has been in effect since January 1, 2018. Using the Zip/Postal Code helps ensure that parcels, goods, and mail are delivered to their final destination quickly and accurately, facilitating tracking processes.

Standard structure of the national postal code

• The first (01) character identifies the region code, with Vietnam divided into 10 regions (numbered from 0-9).
• The first two (02) characters identify the province or centrally governed city.
• The first three (03) or four (04) characters identify the district, commune, or equivalent administrative unit.
• All five (05) characters identify the entity assigned the national postal code.
