Envelope Example
Coding Method
The postcodes in the Netherlands consist of four digits followed by two uppercase letters. The letters 'F', 'I', 'O', 'Q', 'U' and 'Y' were originally not used for technical reasons, but these letters has been allowed for new locations since 2005. The letter combinations SS, SD and SA are not used for historical reasons. e.g：
1234 AB
The first two digits indicate a city and a region, the third digit represents the location and the fourth digit represents the district. The first letter indicate the delivery area and the second letter indicate the subdivision of delivery area. Consequently, a postal address is uniquely defined by the postcode and the house number. On average, a postcode in the Netherlands comprises eight single addresses.
