Q. What format does the database come in?
A. Our US ZIP Code Database is provided in three (3) formats: Microsoft® Access [MDB], Microsoft® Excel [XLS], and ASCII Comma Delimited [CSV].
Back to Top
Q. How do I get the monthly database updates?
A. When you purchase, you setup a username and password. Each month, we will notify you via email that an updated database is available. Visit our site and login using your username and password. The updated databases will be available for download in any format we provide as well as a transactional log file with just the changes only.
Back to Top
Q. Will a CD be mailed to me? How do I get the database?
A. No, our US ZIP Code Database is not mailed to you on CD. Once your order is completed, you will be able to download immediately. All monthly updates are also provided for online download. This ensures fastest delivery as the database is updated each month.
Back to Top
Q. Do you include ZIP Codes for the entire United States?
A. Yes. ZIP Code data is provided for all 50 U.S. States, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and APO/FPO Military ZIP Codes.
Back to Top
Q. Why do some ZIP codes only have 3 or 4 digits in Excel?
A. Several ZIP Codes start 0 or 00. Excel interprets the column as numeric data, therefore it removes all preceding zeros. The data is good, it is simply Excel formatting the output. To correct this, open the spreadsheet. Highlight the column by clicking on "A" above the ZIP Code Label. From the menu at the top of the application, choose "Format" and then "Cells". On the popup window, choose "Special" from the "Number Tab" section, and then choose "ZIP Code" to the right. Click "OK". The ZIP Codes should now be formatted properly.
Back to Top
Q. How often do you update the database?
A. Our ZIP Code Database is updated every month.
Back to Top
Q. How current is the data?
A. Our ZIP Code Database is updated every month. the data is current as of December, 2024
Back to Top
Q. What are the sources of the data?
A. Our ZIP Code Database is licensed and compiled from various sources. Postal and Delivery data comes from the USPS, Demographic data from the US Census, Statistical Areas from the OMB (Office of Management & Budget), private data sources, and some are computed by Zip-Codes.com.
Back to Top
Q. How accurate is the data?
A. Accurate data is critical to the success of your business and ours. Zip-Codes.com implements a very rigorous set of data integrity checks to ensure our database is as accurate as possible. In the unlikely event that a portion of data is confirmed as inaccurate, we will correct it within 2 business days.
Back to Top
Q. Do you have any other countries besides the U.S.?
A. Yes. We also have the Canadian Postal Code Database.
Back to Top
Q. How long does it take to get the data?
A. Instantly. As soon as your order is confirmed and payment is received, you can download the database.
Back to Top
Q. Can I automate the database delivery?
A. Yes! Please email us requesting an FTP Account be setup for you to use in automating your processes. Please include your username or order number for reference. We will have it up and running within 1 hour.
Back to Top
Q. Do ZIP Codes change often?
A. ZIP code data changes frequently. Every year there are thousands of changes to the USPS ZIP Code records. Cities are added and removed. ZIP codes are created or discontinued. Corrections are made. Boundaries change. Streets are added and street names change. Within a short time period, the database will be outdated if you do not download it every month.
Back to Top
Q. Do you sport Military APO/FPO/DPO ZIP Codes??
A. Yes! Overseas military post offices operated or supported by the Army or Air Force use the city abbreviation APO [Army Post Office / Air (Force) Post Office], while overseas military post offices operated or supported by the Navy, Marine Corps or U.S. Coast Guard use the city abbreviation FPO (Fleet Post Office). Recently, the Department of State has begun establishing a semi-independent overseas postal system. Their city abbreviation is DPO. As of March 2009, less than 10 U.S. Embassy locations are known as DPOs. The other approximately 90 overseas U.S. embassy post offices fall under the management oversight of the military services and so are known as either as APOs or FPOs. Three quasi-state codes have been assigned depending on the (approximate) geographic location of the military mail recipient and also the carrier route to be taken. They are:
- AE (Armed Forces Europe / Canada / Middle East / Africa) - 09XXX
- AP (Armed Forces Pacific) - 962XX through 966XX
- AA (Armed Forces Americas [excluding domestic and Canada]) - 340XX
Back to Top
Q. Do you have DMA information?
A. No, Nielsen is the provider of that data and they do not allow others to redistribute it. If you need it, you need to go directly to them to get it at Nielsen.com
Back to Top
Q. How long have you been in business?
A. We have been selling our databases online since 2003 and have become the most trusted source of ZIP code data.

Jennifer, Thanks for the link! I am about to be home and I will try it out and I will let you know. I want you to know that you were really helpful and for some reason that is so hard to come by these days when you call companies to ask about their services and for quotes. If your management were standing right next to you, I would tell them to give you a raise and make sure that they keep you happy haha. Thanks again.

Jim;
Thanks for your very quick response. Very surprised.
After living in Piedmont for over 41 years, I've never heard of 94620 (no post office in Piedmont, so not sure how it got a PO Box zip), or any others you list other than 94610 or 94611.
I've always used usps.com and gotten the appropriate zip code - by using the address.
Guess that's the difference.
Anyway, thanks for this new information.......

Have enjoyed using your database and the radius tool. Super things. Have just spent a lot of money on a new customer dB system that includes Zip Code radius search. I do not think that it is as up-to-date and comprehensive as yours, but we have to live with it. Thanks for several years of service.
