In this platform we seek to encourage the use of the postal code in Uruguay. You can navigate by departments, then by municipalities until you find the zip code for your area. We also recommend using the official Uruguay postal codes page.
Uruguay's postal code is made up of 5 numeric digits. The first two digits correspond to the department, with the exception of the postal codes that begin with 1, which correspond to Montevideo. The last digits correspond to the postal zones. When the last digits are zeros, they correspond to the capital of the department or the city of Montevideo as a whole. Postal codes also apply to specific areas of Montevideo and you should use them for better mail efficiency.
On this platform you can search for postal codes by browsing their departments and towns. To send letters, parcels or packages, you should always use the postal code to facilitate delivery by the transport company.
