About 5-Digit Postal Codes Slovakia
About
The Slovakian 5-digit postal code system was introduced in 1973, during the period when Slovakia was still part of Czechoslovakia. After Slovakia gained its independence in 1993, the postal code system was revised to reflect the new country's administrative divisions. During this change, the system was expanded to six digits, with the first three digits representing the district and the last three digits identifying the specific post office or delivery area within the district. During another revision in 2004, the postal code format was brought back to five digits, where the third and fourth digit separated by a space. Today, the Slovakian postal code system is an essential part of the country's postal service (Slovenská Pošta, S.P.), helping to ensure the accurate and timely delivery of mail and packages to their intended destinations.
