Postal Code Implementation

  • Postal Code Flyer
  • The Trinidad and Tobago Postal Corporation, in efforts to improve its service delivery and financial viability, has actively sought certification in the S42 standard in addressing from the Universal Postal Union, the World Governing body of Post. Having attained certification in February 2012, TTPost was charged with the mandate of implementing a National Addressing System throughout Trinidad & Tobago. The National Addressing System project is divided into two main aspects which are the address standardization and postal code implementation. The Address standardization implementation aspect of the project entailed the execution of a numbering/re-numbering exercise with the primary objective being the assignment of the S42 postal address to every single delivery point within Trinidad and Tobago. The address standard being assigned will include the building number, street name, community name, postal district, postal code and country name.

Examples of S42 Postal Address;

Ms Jane Doe

22 Robertson Street

WOODBROOK 170505

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

 

Ms Jane Doe

22 Poinsettia Crescent

Westmoorings

CARENAGE 110702

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

The Postal Code Implementation aspect of the project entailed the assignment of a six-digit postal code. The first two (2)  digits “26” refers to the Postal District; The second two (2) digits “04” to a certain delivery loop served by that Postal District; and final two (2) digits “25” to a certain building or zone along that delivery route.

The Government of Trinidad & Tobago will benefit from the national addressing system in order to provide utilities such as water & electricity. Businesses would benefit by being able to identify and locate new clients and develop and grow new markets. Improved addressing would also allow businesses to facilitate access to their services and products.
