A postal code is a series of letters or digits or both, sometimes including spaces or punctuation, included in a postal address for the purpose of sorting mail.
Postal codes used in the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown dependencies are known as postcodes. They are alphanumeric and were adopted nationally between 11 October 1959 and 1974, having been devised by the General Post Office. A full postcode is known as a "postcode unit" and designates an area with several addresses or a single major delivery point.

A post town is a required part of all postal addresses in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and a basic unit of the postal delivery system.

As of 2004, their main function is to distinguish between localities or street names in addresses not including a postcode.
