Everyone has seen these six numbers on postal envelopes since childhood, but not everyone knows that their correct spelling is the key to fast and accurate delivery of a letter or parcel to the addressee. If you do not attach much importance to the postal code and write it at random, it is quite possible that your mistakes have to be corrected by the postal workers, rewriting the zip code for you. So how do you do it right?

Step 1
Make sure the six digits you are going to write on the envelope are indeed the correct destination index. Each post office in the country has its own combination of numbers, and it is by this six-digit numeric code that postal employees sort letters for sending to other cities. To check the correctness of the index, it is enough to use a database on the Internet or ask for help from a postal employee. After giving the exact address, you will get the required combination of numbers.
Step 2
Write the destination index in the lower right corner of the envelope in the designated rectangle. If there are no inscriptions and stamps on the envelope, the destination code should also be written in the lower right corner under the name and address of the recipient. The postal envelope also contains the index of the sender. This information should be displayed in a special rectangle in the upper left corner of the envelope.
Step 3
Duplicate the destination index in the special code stamp in the lower left corner of the envelope. Remember that the numbers in this field must strictly correspond to the pattern printed on the back of the envelope. In case of errors or typos in the code index, it may be difficult to send your letter.
