Within Honduras, it is not necessary to include a ZIP code in the mail in order for it to arrive at its destination within the country. However, some websites ask for this information, and it may be necessary when sending mail to Honduras from another country.
ZIP codes are only defined for the major cities of Honduras. To each city corresponds a single ZIP code, with the exception of the city of San Pedro Sula, which has four ZIP codes corresponding to the four cardinal points.

The postal system doesn't really work, so why are zip codes needed. Rather pointless, right?
They are not needed internally, but for some companies it's mandatory. Google sends me checks by mail regularly, and they request my ZIP code. Without it, I can't have my money.
WELL I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN SAN PEDRO SULA FOR 8 YEARS NOW. I SEND A RECEIVE MAIL IN MY POST OFFICE BOX (APDO BOX). I HAVE NEVER USED A ZIP CODE NOT HAVE I ASKED ANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE TO ME TO USE A ZIP CODE………….. I DON’T RECEIVE ANY MAIL AT MY APARTMENT ONLY AT MY APDO BOX.
NO PROBLEMS NEVER 8 YEARS
Yeah, it’s pretty unnecessary, but sometimes, when you are filling an online form, they ask for it.
Where is the post office in San Pedro? My wife lives in San Pedro, and I live there several months a year, but we have always used the expensive couriers. If I can find the address and info we could save a considerable amount.
