Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. A unified postal code system has been established in the framework of the E-Mongolia national program being implemented by the Government of Mongolia.

With the program’s implementation, a unified postal code system is being introduced in order to have each street, area, organization, and household has its own corresponding address. Furthermore, works are currently being carried out in the aim of further developing the mail delivery system at all levels. In connection with the amendments made to the Law on Post in 2019, postal zones began to be referred to as ‘postal code’ instead of ‘ZIP code’.

Alongside creating favourable conditions for mail to be quickly delivered, the introduction of a unified postal code system also makes it easier for citizens to be provided with public emergency services as well as government services such as registration, social insurance, and matters relating to tax.

Over 20 thousand locations have been assigned with postal codes in the spatial database of the Urban Development Department of the Capital City in the past year. Information regarding the new postal codes are available on the website www.zipcode.mn.
