∙ 15y agoNo, you do not periods at the end of a state code. Unlike state abbreviations (i.e. Calif., N.Y., Ore.) which shorten the name of the state, state postal codes (i.e. CA, NY, OR) are codes assigned to each state by the United States Postal Office. Since they are their own entities and not short for anything, there is no need to place a period behind them.
