Q. Why do some ZIP codes only have 3 or 4 digits in Excel?

A. Several ZIP Codes start 0 or 00. Excel interprets the column as numeric data, and thusly removes all preceeding zeros. The data is good, it is simply Excel formatting the output. To correct this, open the spreadsheet. Select the column by clicking on A above the ZIP Code Label. At the top of the application, choose "Format" and then "Cells". On the popup window, choose "Special" from the "Number Tab" section, and then choose "ZIP Code" to the right. Click "OK". The ZIP Codes should now be formatted properly.

Q. Do you spoort Military APO/FPO/DPO ZIP Codes??

A. Yes! Overseas military post offices operated or supported by the Army or Air Force use the city abbreviation APO [Army Post Office / Air (Force) Post Office], while overseas military post offices operated or supported by the Navy, Marine Corps or U.S. Coast Guard use the city abbreviation FPO (Fleet Post Office). Recently, the Department of State has begun establishing a semi-independent overseas postal system. Their city abbreviation is DPO. As of March 2009, less than 10 U.S. Embassy locations are known as DPOs. The other approximately 90 overseas U.S. embassy post offices fall under the management oversight of the military services and so are known as either as APOs or FPOs. Three quasi-state codes have been assigned depending on the (approximate) geographic location of the military mail recipient and also the carrier route to be taken. They are:

• AE (Armed Forces Europe / Canada / Middle East / Africa) - 09XXX
• AP (Armed Forces Pacific) - 962XX through 966XX
• AA (Armed Forces Americas [excluding domestic and Canada]) - 340XX

Multiple County Data in the Business Database

NEW! The Zip-Codes.com Business ZIP Code Database now comes with Multi-County Data. ZIP Codes are assigned by the US Postal Service and as such, do not follow State, County, or even City boundaries. Many ZIP Codes even cross county borders (about 25%). With the Business Database, you can now know every county a ZIP Code covers.

The data is provided in a separate file (or separate table for our Access MDB users). This secondary file/table gives you every ZIP Code, as well as the State and County information that it falls into. Each ZIP Code that falls into more than one State/County will be listed in this table for each State and County it covers.

In addition to this, we have added a "Multi County Flag" column in all versions of our ZIP Code Database. This column will give a "Y" indicating flag letting you know this ZIP Code is located in more than one county making it even easier to use.
