The last 4 digits after a 5-digit ZIP code provide a way for the Post Office to further sort the mail. For a given ZIP+4 code, there may be only a few houses (or apartments). Not always, but they often are in order of the way that the carrier drives his/her route.

While you cannot look at the 4-digits and find them on a map, the Post Office has a database of every address and what carrier route delivers to that address, and where it is in relation to the whole route.

You will have to provide the specific address. Each five-digit ZIP code typically contains hundreds or thousands of nine-digit ZIP+4 codes, as that is the point of adding the extra digits.

How many digits are in a zip code?

The United States ZIP code is five digits. The ZIP+4 code is nine numbers. 9 numbers helps get the mail to you faster because the 5-digit ZIP code identifies a delivery zone; the extra 4 digits in a ZIP+4 pinpoints the region within the zone down to the city block. Also, there can be several cities associated with one ZIP code because they are all within the one delivery zone. Take area code 7836: It encompasses 5 cities in Texas. Another example is 62812: it encompasses 6 cities!
