Postal codes in Slovakia

The system of PSČ numbers (PSČ, stands for Slovak: Poštové smerovacie číslo - postal routing number) was introduced in former Czechoslovakia in 1973 and has remained unchanged.

The postal code consists of five digits, usually written with a space in the form XXX XX.

The codes 860 01-899 99 are not assigned to any region and serve for internal purposes of the postal system.

9 - southern and western Slovakia: 911 01 Trenčín, 917 01 Trnava, 949 01 Nitra, 960 01 Zvolen, 974 01 Banská Bystrica, 984 01 Lučenec 0 - northern and eastern Slovakia: 010 01 Žilina, 036 01 Martin, 040 01 - 044 99 Košice, 058 01 Poprad, 071 01 Michalovce, 080 01 Prešov).

When writing the address, the postal code is put in front of the town name; when typed or printed, 1 space separates the leading 3 digits from the trailing 2 digits, and 2 spaces separate the postal code from the town name, e.g.: On envelopes and postcards there are usually five rectangular boxes below the address field for the postal code digits.
