Puerto Rico is served by 119 ZIP codes that span 74 municipalities and 87 cities across the island, ranging from 00601 in the mountainous interior to 00987 along the southeastern coast. These ZIP codes use three distinct prefixes — 006, 007, and 009 — to organize mail delivery across the territory's diverse geography, from bustling urban centers to rural mountain towns. San Juan, the island's capital, accounts for the highest concentration with 19 ZIP codes, followed by the southern city of Ponce with 10. Whether you're mailing a package to Old San Juan or researching postal coverage for a business in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico's ZIP code system ensures comprehensive delivery service to every corner of the island.
Puerto Rico ZIP codes use three prefixes: 006, 007, and 009. The 006 prefix generally covers the western and central regions of the island, including cities like Aguadilla and Mayagüez, while the 007 prefix serves the greater San Juan metropolitan area and northern municipalities. The 009 prefix is assigned to the southern and southeastern parts of Puerto Rico, including the city of Ponce.
San Juan, Puerto Rico's capital and most populous municipality, has the most ZIP codes at 19, reflecting its dense urban landscape, extensive commercial districts, and large residential population that require finer postal segmentation.
Quick facts
Puerto Rico was assigned its first ZIP codes in 1963 as part of the original U.S. ZIP code system, making it one of the earliest territories to receive standardized postal codes alongside the 50 states.
Puerto Rico's lowest ZIP code, 00601, belongs to the municipality of Adjuntas, a mountainous town in the island's central highlands often called 'La Ciudad del Gigante Dormido' (City of the Sleeping Giant).
Despite being a relatively small island of about 3,515 square miles, Puerto Rico uses three distinct ZIP code prefixes — 006, 007, and 009 — skipping 008 entirely, which is not assigned to any location.
