Korea (Rep.

) Postcode Postcode type and position

5 digits to the right of the locality name. Coding method Overview Since

1 August, 2015, the 5-digit district number based on the geographic features (road, rivers, railroads, etc.) and assigned to each State Basic District replaced the former 6-digit postal code based on the administrative units (eup, myeon and dong) and the districts assigned to each postman walk. Administrative divisions An address in Korea contains names of administrative units which levels and types can be identified by suffixes of their names. The following table describes suffixes of administrative units of various levels and their relation to address elements used in explanations of address examples: Address elements Korean Suffixes Province -do, -si sub-province (sub-prv) -gun, -si , -gu sub-province

2 (sub-prv 2) -eup, -myeon Address formats For inbound cross border mail, Korea Post prefers to have addresses written in Korean. Addresses within a complex of buildings shall identify individual buildings by numbers suffixed with "-dong" and door numbers suffixed with "Cho". For example: "101-dong 103-ho". This form is preferred over the abbreviated one: "101-103". The first digit of "Cho" number (or first two digits when the "Cho" number is four digits long) indicates the floor on which apartment is located. When an address is located underground the "Cho" number will be prefixed with letter 'B' for basement (sometimes the word 'Jiha' is used instead of 'B'). For further information on the State Basic District and addresses, please refer to the road name address information system (www.juso.go.kr/openEngPage.do).
