G
eographic Identifier
A unique combination of letters and numbers that serves as a vital component in the postal system, facilitating efficient mail delivery. This identifier is comprised of two primary components: a state or province abbreviation and a zip code.
The state or province abbreviation is a concise representation of the region where the address is located. It typically consists of two letters, with each letter representing a specific state or province within a country.
The zip code, on the other hand, is a numerical sequence that further refines the geographic location. This code is usually five digits long and provides additional specificity to the address, enabling mail carriers to accurately sort and deliver mail.
Together, these two components form a comprehensive identifier that helps navigate the complexities of global postal systems.
