Postal codes in Oceania

Postcodes used in Oceania vary between the various sovereign nations, territories, and associated states in the region. Many of the smaller island regions in Oceania use postal code systems that are integrated into the postal systems of larger countries they are territories or associates of.

In addition to the U.S. State of Hawai'i, there are two territories, one commonwealth, and three freely associated states within Oceania that are administered by the United States Postal Service (U.S.P.S.). All of these places use zip codes that start with the prefixes 967, 968, or 969. Standard USPS domestic rates apply to mail between the United States and these places.



Within the State of Hawai'i (postal abbreviation HI), zip code prefix 968 is generally reserved for Urban Honolulu, with all other areas prefixed 967 (shared with American Samoa).

Within the U.S. Territories, American Samoa (postal abbreviation AS) uses zip code 96799, and Guam (postal abbreviation GU) uses zip codes in the range 96910–96932.

Each major island of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (postal abbreviation MP) has its own zip code in the 96950-96952 range.

The nominally independent countries governed by the Compact of Free Association with the United States are also fully integrated into the U.S. Postal Service: The Federated States of Micronesia (postal abbreviation FM), the Marshall Islands (postal abbreviation MH), and Palau (postal abbreviation PW). Palau's abbreviation is derived from the word "Pelew", an old spelling for the archipelago.
