Frequently Asked Questions

What is Switzerland's 6-digit postal code system, and how is it used?

Switzerland traditionally uses a 4-digit postal code system, but the 6-digit postal codes extend this system to provide a more precise geographic granularity, often down to specific delivery points or smaller administrative units. These extended codes help businesses, logistics companies, and government agencies with detailed spatial analysis and routing.

Does Switzerland have ZIP Codes?

Switzerland does not use the term ZIP codes; instead, postal codes ('Postleitzahl' or PLZ) are used. The 6-digit postal codes are an extension of the official 4-digit PLZ, designed for more detailed location referencing.

What is the length of postal codes in this Swiss dataset?

This dataset uses six-digit postal codes, which build upon the standard four-digit Swiss postal codes by adding two extra digits for more precise geographic segmentation.

How are the 6-digit Swiss postal codes structured?

The first four digits correspond to the official Swiss postal code areas, and the additional two digits specify sub-regions or particular delivery points within those areas, enabling high-precision mapping and mail sorting.

What’s the range of the 6-digit postal codes in Switzerland?

Six-digit postal codes in Switzerland start with the official 4-digit codes ranging roughly from 1000 to 9658, followed by two digits from 00 to 99 to denote finer location details within those zones.

Which areas correspond to which Swiss postal code prefixes?
