Postal codes in Costa Rica

Postal codes in Costa Rica are five-digit numeric, and were introduced in March 2013, they are associated with and identify a unique district in the country. They are managed by the Correos de Costa Rica, a government-controlled institution that provides postal service in the country.

The first digit denotes one of the seven provinces, the second and third refer to a specific canton in the aforementioned province, and the fourth and fifth represent a specific district within the canton.

The numbers are equivalent to the codes used by the National Institute of Statistics and Census of Costa Rica and the Administrative Territorial Division (División Territorial Administrativa) to uniquely identify a district in the country.
