About 5-Digit Postal Codes Estonia

About

The Estonian 5-digit postal code system was introduced in 1992. This system was introduced shortly after Estonia gained its independence from the Soviet Union. Originally, this system consisted of four digits, with the first two digits representing the county and the last two digits indicating the post office or delivery area within the county. In 2005, the postal code system was restructured to a new five-digit format that better reflected the country's administrative divisions. As a result, the efficiency of mail sorting and delivery has improved, and has been widely adopted by individuals, businesses, and government agencies throughout Estonia. Today, the Estonian postal service, (Eesti Post AS or Omniva) play an important role in the country's economy and society, providing a range of postal, logistics, and financial services to customers both domestically and internationally.
