Postal codes in Romania


Four-digit postal codes were introduced in Romania in 1974. Beginning with 1 May 2003, postal codes have six digits, and represent addresses to the street level in major cities. The digits represent the postal area; the county; the city/commune; the last three, depending on the size of the city/commune, represent the commune/city, the street, or the house/building.
The first digit represents the postal region, and the second the county in the postal region. Together, the first two digits identify a county.
The rest of the digits follow this convention:
  • 0xxx to 4xxx for larger cities, including the sectors of Bucharest
  • 5xxx to 6xxx for smaller cities
  • 7xxx for villages. A postal code is allocated to each village. A village that is the head of a commune has a postal code ending in 0 or 5.
