Structure[edit | edit source]

Postal codes in Lithuania consist of five digits, with the first two digits representing the region or city, and the remaining three digits indicating the specific area within that region. The postal codes are assigned based on geographic location, with larger cities having their own unique postal codes, while smaller towns and villages share postal codes with nearby areas.

They help postal workers accurately route mail to its intended destination, ensuring timely and reliable delivery. In addition to facilitating mail delivery, postal codes are also used for various administrative purposes, such as census data collection and geographic information systems.
