What is new in this application?

Romanian Postcodes History

The first postcodes were introduced in Romania in 1974 and had four digits. On 1st May 2003 new postcodes with six digits were introduced.

Their significance is as follows:

1 the first digit classifies the ten postal regions ranging from 0 to 9,

2 the second digit classifies the counties from 0 to 5. For Ilfov and Giurgiu, counties that are included in the Bucharest Regional Office Post, the allocated values are 7 and 8, respectively. For Bucharest, the zones are treated as counties and have allocated values from 1 to 6,

3-6 the last four digits are used to classify, for postal purposes, the county residence, cities, towns, streets, part of streets and buildings.

Therefore, in a postcode you can identify the county to which it belongs by the first two digits. Please select from the two drop-down lists below the county or the partial postcode to see the connection between them.
