Separate Zip Code Deed For Free

ZIP Codes? (5-digit or ZIP+4®) is required in the return address of all mail on which postage is paid with precanceled stamps or company permit imprint, and in the sender's return address on Periodicals mail when "Address Service Requested" is specified.

To subdivide a city for easier delivery of mail, depending on the size of the city and the density of population you will have different zip codes which designate which part of the city you live in and when there are multiple USPS branches each may work within one or two codes.

ZIP & ZIP+4 United States ZIP codes are five numerical digits long. ZIP+4 codes, also known as add-on or plus-four codes, include four additional digits that identify a geographic segment within a ZIP code delivery area. The first digit in a ZIP code represents a defined group of U.S. states.

It is preferred that all City, State, and ZIP Code information be on a single line. If that is not possible, the ZIP Code, including the ZIP+4 Code, may be placed below the city/state information.

So what do the extra numbers mean? These last 4 digits represent specific delivery routes within delivery areas. This extra detail means an even more precise matching to a more granular level. It could represent a handful of houses on one side of a street, or even a single building that receives a high volume of mail.

Unknown, empty, or otherwise invalid integers are represented by 0. Zip codes will require leading zeros to correctly format 5-digit and zip-plus-4 codes. Zip-plus-4 notation using a plus-4 of all zeros (-0000) is not valid - use the 5-digit instead.

Put the city, state and ZIP Code or ZIP + 4 code in that order on the last line. If there's not enough room, you can put the ZIP Code or ZIP + 4 codes alone on the bottom line. Use standard two-letter state abbreviations.
