If you are going to send a parcel or registered letter, you need to know not only the recipient's address, but also his postal code. But it often happens that your recipient does not remember their index. How to find out the zip code in St. Petersburg or another city in Russia?
Instructions
Step 1
The Russian postal code is a set of six digits, which is essentially a coded address of the post office that serves the recipient of your shipment. The first three digits of the index are the city code (in Moscow and St. Petersburg there are several such codes per city), the last three are the number of the post office in this city.
Step 2
If you need to know the postal code in St. Petersburg, you can contact any post office. Each of them must have a reference book, which contains all the information about the service area of all Russian Post offices. It is enough to tell the mail officer the recipient's address, and in a minute they will dictate the index to you. This can be done directly when sending a parcel or letter.
Step 3
You can find the zip code yourself, using online directories. This information is open, and by request "postal codes of St. Petersburg" or "indexes of Russia" you can easily find several databases at once.
Step 4
To find the index you need in the database, you must first select the city and then the street. If the houses on the street belong to more than one post office, the database will also show the specific house numbers associated with each post office.
Step 5
Since the administrative boundaries of St. Petersburg include a number of cities and towns, the algorithm of action becomes somewhat more complicated. For example, if you need to find out the index of the recipient living in the city of Pushkin (Pushkin district of St. Petersburg), you must first select the city "St. Petersburg", then select "Pushkin" in the menu that opens, and only then find the street you are interested in in the list …
