About Denmark

Denmark Postal Codes

If you are filling out a Denmark address, use the 4-digit postal code before the city name. Denmark does not use a 5-digit ZIP code, so do not add an extra zero or copy a US-style format. A Danish form may say “ZIP code,” but it still means the local postnummer.

A realistic central Copenhagen address would look like this: Strøget 12, 1000 København K, Denmark. For very central Copenhagen, codes around 1000–1473 are common, but Copenhagen is not one single postal code. A nearby address can be 2100 København Ø, 2200 København N, 2300 København S, or another code depending on the district.

A soft way to read the codes is this: 1000–2999 usually points to Copenhagen and nearby areas, 3000s to North Zealand and Bornholm/Greenland-related ranges, 4000s to Zealand outside the capital area, 5000s to Funen, and 6000–9999 mostly to Jutland. That is useful for spotting obvious mistakes, but it is practical guidance, not an official street-level rule.

The UPU addressing guide for Denmark says the postcode has 4 digits and is written to the left of the locality name, while PostNord’s “Find postcode” tool is the practical source to check a specific Danish address when the exact code matters.

So if the address says Copenhagen, do not automatically type 1000. Use the district letter, street, and city line together. For deliveries, 1000 København K and 2300 København S are not small variations; they can point to different parts of the city.
