There was a plan to introduce postal codes in Jamaica. On February 12, 2007 it was announced: "POST CODE PROJECT SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY" ^[1].

The codes were planned to be alphanumeric, in the format: JMAPPNN, where

• JM is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code,
• A is a letter for one of four zones,
• PP are two letters for a parish.
• NN is a two digit number for a post office

The zones were described in a press release of Jamaica Post 18 July 2005. ^[2], the encoding of the post offices one week later on 25 July 2005 ^[3].
