The ZIP code is the system of postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to define locations when distributing mail. The letters ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan, and this system was created so that the mail travels more efficiently, and therefore more quickly. The basic format consists of five numerical digits: a three-digit prefix indicating regional location, followed by two other numerals indicating a more local area. An extended ZIP + 4 code includes the five digits of the ZIP code, a hyphen, and four more digits that determine a more precise location within the ZIP code. The term ZIP Code was originally registered as a servicemark (a type of trademark) by the U.S. Postal Service but its registration has since expired.
