Denmark Postal Code

Denmark postal code format

Denmark's postal codes are based on a four-digit system that was implemented in 1967. The following five 3-digit codes are the only exceptions. Greenland, which is self-governing, is part of Denmark's system (39xx). The Faroe Islands were previously part of the Danish postal code system, which used the 38xx range and "FR,” but this was changed to a new format including a three-digit code and the country code "FO," with FR 3800 Tórshavn becoming FO-110 Tórshavn.

The country code DK is now required by law, but they frequently left it out in practice.

The city name is given before the code.

The postal codes are allocated by a geographic scheme, and most Danes can determine which region an address is from just based on the postal code.
