• The third letter is A, B, C or D to indicate a postal zone: A is Kingston, St Andrew and St Catherine; B is St Thomas, Portland and St Mary; C is Hanover, St James, Trelawny and St Ann; and D is Clarendon, Manchester, St Elizabeth and Westmoreland
• The fourth and fifth letters are the first and last letter of the parish name excluding "St":
  • Clarendon CN
  • Hanover HR
  • Kingston KN
  • Manchester MR
  • Portland PD
  • St Andrew AW
  • St Ann AN
  • St Catherine CE
