ZIP+4
Nine-digit mail code
ZIP+4 is an extended version of the U.S.
ZIP code that adds four digits after a hyphen to the standard five-digit code, enabling mail sorting down to specific city blocks, buildings, or even individual high-volume addresses.
The additional digits improve delivery efficiency and are often required for bulk mailings.
The form asked for my ZIP+4, but I only knew the basic five digits.
