Hawaii is served by 63 ZIP codes that span four counties and 44 cities across the island chain, ranging from 96701 in Aiea to 96850 in downtown Honolulu. All Hawaiian ZIP codes begin with the prefixes 967 or 968, giving the Aloha State the highest-numbered ZIP codes in the entire United States. Honolulu County on the island of Oahu contains the largest share with 35 ZIP codes, reflecting its status as the state's population and economic hub. Whether you're mailing a letter to Waikiki or shipping a package to the Big Island, understanding Hawaii's compact but unique ZIP code system helps ensure accurate and timely delivery across the Pacific.
Hawaii ZIP codes use the prefixes 967 and 968, both of which are exclusively assigned to the state of Hawaii. The 967 prefix covers the majority of the islands, including Honolulu, Maui, and the Big Island, while the 968 prefix is used for select areas within Honolulu and certain military installations. This unique two-prefix system reflects Hawaii's geographic isolation as the only U.S. state located entirely in the Pacific Ocean.
Honolulu County holds the most ZIP codes in Hawaii with 35, which makes sense given that it encompasses the island of Oahu—home to the state capital, the largest population center, and numerous military bases that each require their own ZIP codes.
Quick facts
Hawaii's ZIP codes all begin with 96, making them the highest-numbered ZIP code prefix in the entire United States, a reflection of the state being the last to be admitted to the Union in 1959 and the westernmost state geographically.
The ZIP code 96850 is assigned to the Honolulu Post Office and certain federal government offices, making it one of the few ZIP codes in Hawaii reserved exclusively for institutional mail rather than residential delivery.
When the ZIP code system was introduced nationwide in 1963, Hawaii had only been a state for four years, making it one of the newest states to receive its own dedicated ZIP code block.
