What is the zip code for Belize?

Short answer: There is none.

Longer answer: Belize is not within the postal jurisdiction of the USPS and therefore does not have US-style ZIP codes. Belize has its own postal system, which does not use postal codes.

One list that I've seen gives the ZIP code for Belize as 00106-4000. Even if that list is accurate, that's for internal USPS processing of international mail only and is not to be used in addressing mail to Belize.
