Postal codes in Andorra
Postal codes are an essential element in the territorial and logistical organization of any country. They identify specific geographic areas, streamline postal distribution and ensure that shipments, documents and parcels arrive correctly at their destination. In Andorra, although not necessary for many years, postal codes were officially introduced in July 2004 as part of the process of modernizing the Principality’s postal system.
How postal codes work in Andorra
The postal code system in Andorra is simple and efficient. The country is divided into seven parishes, each with a unique postal code. All codes begin with the letters AD, followed by three numbers that identify the corresponding parish.
This structure facilitates rapid location identification and reduces errors in national and international shipments, which is especially relevant for companies with commercial or logistical activities.
