New zip code

You're looking to create a new zip code!

To create a new zip code, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Check if the area is eligible: The United States Postal Service (USPS) has specific guidelines for creating new zip codes. The area must be a new development or a significant expansion of an existing area. You can check with your local post office or the USPS website to see if the area is eligible.
  2. Gather information: You'll need to gather information about the new area, including:
    • The location (city, state, and county)
    • The boundaries of the area (streets, roads, and landmarks)
    • The population density and growth projections
    • The type of development (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.)
  3. Submit a request: You can submit a request to the USPS to create a new zip code. You'll need to provide the information gathered in step 2 and explain why a new zip code is necessary. You can submit the request online or by mail.
  4. Wait for approval: The USPS will review your request and determine if a new zip code is needed. If approved, they'll assign a new zip code and provide guidance on how to implement it.
  5. Implement the new zip code: Once approved, you'll need to implement the new zip code by:
    • Installing new street signs and mailboxes
    • Updating maps and directories
    • Informing residents, businesses, and emergency services about the new zip code

Keep in mind that creating a new zip code can be a complex process, and it may take several months or even years to complete.
