Albania

Q: What is the format of an Albanian postal code?

The official postal code (postcode) in Albania is a 4-digit numeric code (e.g., 5001, 5405).

Q: Why are there so many different postal codes for the same city, like Berat?

A large city like Berat is divided into multiple postal districts. Each postal code corresponds to a specific post office branch that handles mail for a particular area within the city. This data provides a detailed breakdown of these branches.

Q: What is the precision level of the Albanian postal code data?

This dataset provides data at the post office level. This is a key feature of Albania's postal system: postal codes are assigned directly to specific post offices, not to the administrative regions. This data links each 4-digit postal code to its official delivery office.

Q: How often is the Albanian postal code data updated?

There is no official, fixed update schedule published by Albania Posta Shqiptare. However, we check for updates on a monthly basis. If we release an updated version of the dataset, we will notify you via email.
