Instruction manual

If you need to find out the index of your area, which for some reason you forgot, then just go to the nearest post office. There, in any window, you can find out the index of your area or town. In addition, in post offices the index is often written on the wall in capital letters. By the way, if you forgot your own index, look for old letters addressed to you, or utility bills. They usually indicate both the address and the index.

You can check back at your nearest post office to find the area code of your destination. Each such department usually has a large catalog, which contains all the indexes that are valid in our country and not only. True, it will take a certain amount of time to search for the desired index in such a directory. However, you can ask the postal code of one of the postal workers - now almost all departments are equipped with modern technology, so it’s not difficult to look at the index in the database.

Use the telephone directory, for example, "Yellow Pages". If you need to send something not to a private person, but to a company or company, then in this directory you will probably be able to find an address with an index. True, you should not use too old directories - the index sometimes changes.

Find the index you need online. There are several ways to do this. The first is to go to the Russian Post website. On this site there is a special service in which you need to fill in several fields. After a few seconds, the service will give you the desired index. You can also go to the "Postal Codes of Russia" website. This site contains all the postal codes of Russia. However, it is updated less frequently than the Russian Post website. True, this site will not help you with foreign indexes. You can do something else: in the Google search bar, type the city and address you need. In addition to the map of the desired place, the site will give you its index as well.
