Is there a zip code for trinidad west indies

Individual countries have zip codes not regions. Its more, I believe zip codes are to target specific areas within a country rather than the country itself. That is why if you are sending a letter from one country to the next you can't just put a zip code without mentioning the country it is going to. Zip codes work best when there are regulations in place for street names, areas and maps for all. The mapping for the islands is very poor in my opinion and it may be one the main reasons why zip codes have not made a greater impact in the Caribbean.

Too many back streets and tracks leading to houses with who knows what address… what zip code will they have? The region is the "Caribbean" or "West Indies" there isn't a zip code for it. Zip codes are for more specific areas. The West Indies covers a very large area with many countries. I actually got a card from the local regional representative in conjunction with TTPost that had my full address along with zip code, so it looks like it is being officially put out there.

In May , TTPost said it planned to develop a postal code system in part because it is more efficient to sort mail using automated sorting machines, and in part because many areas in Trinidad and Tobago use vague or imprecise descriptive addresses based on "word of mouth and the use of landmarks".

TTPost also said it also hoped develop a universal standard for addressing. Postal workers' representatives noted that along with increased efficiency in mail sorting, the system is expected to accompany a loss in mail sorter jobs.

Advocates of the postal code system touted several side benefits. Classifying every address in a geographical postal code could aid in statistical analysis of crime and health care, for example. Telecommunications in Trinidad and Tobago include radio, television, fixed and mobile telephones, and the Internet.

A postal code is a series of letters or digits or both, sometimes including spaces or punctuation, included in a postal address for the purpose of sorting mail. Introduced in , the basic format consisted of five digits. They are alphanumeric and were adopted nationally between 11 October and , having been devised by the General Post Office.

A full postcode is known as a "postcode unit" and designates an area with several addresses or a single major delivery point. A Canadian postal code is a six-character string that forms part of a postal address in Canada. Like British, Irish and Dutch postcodes, Canada's postal codes are alphanumeric.

They are in the format A1A 1A1 , where A is a letter and 1 is a digit, with a space separating the third and fourth characters. Most often, the delivery point is added, usually being the last two digits of the address or PO box number. Postal codes were introduced in France in , when La Poste introduced automated sorting. They were updated to use the current 5 digit system in In a postal system, a delivery point is a single mailbox or other place at which mail is delivered.
