Coding method

Postal Codes in Nicaragua consist of 7 numbers,with a dash between the 3rd and 4th digits and between the 6th and 7th digits.eg:

050–008–4

050=district
008=block
4=side

At present, the postcode system used in Nicaragua consists of seven digits, as presented above. It will be noted that this postcode does not contain coding above district level. Sorting by department and/or municipality is performed manually, on the basis of the department and municipality names.

However, in preparation for the future mechanization of sorting, a new postcode system has been designed and developed to allow the inclusion of coding for the department and municipality. So, for the above example, the full postcode, comprising 11 digits, will be XXYY–050–008–4, where XX is the department code and YY the locality code. Until automated sorting is introduced, however, only the last seven digits of the full code will be used.
