Moldova Postal Code validator
How the postal code format works
- Format
- 4 digits
- Example
- 2001
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the postal code actually exists
- Enter just the 4 digits — Moldovan addresses conventionally show them with a country-letter prefix (MD-2001), which this validator doesn't require
- MD-2001 is central Chișinău's code, near the main post office on Ștefan cel Mare Avenue
^[0-9]{4}$A Moldovan postal code is the 4-digit code Poșta Moldovei uses to route mail — for example 2001 for central Chișinău. On envelopes and address labels it’s conventionally written with a country-letter prefix, MD-2001, a convention several other countries in this region also use on their own codes — but the prefix identifies the country for international routing, not the postcode itself, which stays 4 digits. Anyone validating a Moldovan shipping address, a checkout form, or a spreadsheet of customer records should enter just those 4 digits, without the MD- prefix, for this tool to check.
Because it’s a bare run of digits once the prefix is stripped, a single dropped or transposed digit produces a code that’s still superficially plausible, with nothing about its shape flagging the mistake.
How this validator works
This tool checks that the input is exactly 4 digits with no letters, spaces, or hyphens — the MD- prefix, if present, should be removed before entering the code — entirely in your browser, with nothing sent to a server.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
A Moldovan postal code carries no check digit, so matching the 4-digit shape is the most a client-side tool can confirm — not that Poșta Moldovei has assigned it to a real town. Confirming that requires Poșta Moldovei’s own postcode lookup.
Scope: this page and tool cover the 4-digit format only — not the MD- prefix, address lookup, or confirming a code is currently in use.
postal code FAQ
Why do Moldovan addresses show 'MD-2001' instead of just '2001'?
MD- is a country-letter prefix, a presentation convention added for international mail so a sorting office outside Moldova can immediately tell the code apart from a similar-looking code in another country. The underlying postal code itself is just the 4 digits — 2001 — which is what this validator checks.
What is Chișinău's postal code?
2001 (written MD-2001 on envelopes), for the central district near the main post office on Ștefan cel Mare Avenue.
Does a correctly formatted postal code mean it actually exists?
No. This tool only confirms the string is 4 digits — it doesn't check it against Poșta Moldovei's actual assignment list. Confirming a code is real, and seeing which town it names, requires Poșta Moldovei's own postcode lookup.
