Honduras Postal Codes

Although we are getting mixed messages about the postal code format in Honduras, evidence suggests that the country has reverted to a 5-digit code in the format 99999. The code consisting of 6 alphanumeric characters in the format AA9999 has been abandoned, direct statement as the two characters, indicating the department, were being confused by the postal services with ISO 3166 country codes. In any case, postal codes are hardly used by the populace except where poorly designed e-commerce websites demand them.

With one exception, the first two digits of the 5-digit postal code indicate the departamento.
