Frequently Asked Questions

Postal Code System
The postal code in Italy is known as CAP (Codice di Avviamento Postale), introduced by Poste Italiane in 1967. The CAP consists of five digits (e.g., 00144 representing parts of Rome, 20121 representing parts of Milan). The first two digits usually represent the province or major city, and the last two digits represent the specific delivery area or post office.
Dialing Format & Area Codes
The country prefix for Italy is +39. Local landline numbers start with 0 (e.g., 06 for Rome, 02 for Milan, 055 for Florence). Mobile numbers typically start with 3. The length of local landline numbers is 8 to 11 digits (including the leading 0). On this site, we provide simulated test numbers complying with telecommunication dialing rules across Italy.
What is the length and format of postal codes in Italy?
Italian postal codes, known as CAP (Codice di Avviamento Postale), consist of 5 digits (e.g., 00144). The first two digits represent the province or major city, and the last two represent the specific delivery zone or post office.
How are telephone area codes structured and allocated in Italy?
Italian landline area codes start with '0' (e.g., 06 for Rome, 02 for Milan) and vary from 2 to 4 digits. Unlike most countries, the leading '0' must be kept for both domestic and international calls. Mobile numbers typically start with '3'.
How do you dial a Italy phone number from abroad?
To call Italy, dial '+39', followed by the area code including the leading '0' and the subscriber number. For example, to call Rome: +39 06 1234 5678.
Do postal codes and telephone area codes in Italy align geographically?
No, postal codes and telephone area codes are independently planned and managed by different authorities (the postal service vs. the telecom authority), so their geographic boundaries do not align directly. One area code usually contains hundreds or thousands of postal codes.
Why is the correct postal code critical for mail and package delivery in Italy?
The correct postal code is the core basis for modern logistics and automated postal sorting. Writing the correct postal code avoids misrouting, reduces sorting steps, shortens delivery times, and ensures precise delivery to specific blocks or buildings.
How can I verify if a Italy postal code or telephone area code is valid?
You can use the directory hierarchy on our website to browse states, cities, and districts to check the postal code and area code mapping. For official confirmation, you can consult the official postal service or telecom authority of that country.
