The Palestinian Authority introduced a postal code system on 1st January 2021. The new postal code has the format:
[P]9999999
and is written to the right of the postal city name. The first digit refers to the governorate, the second to a postal sector within the governorate and the third to a postal zone within that sector. The final four digits indicate the final delivery point. At the current time using the first four characters of the code (P999) is sufficient for postal routing purposes.
