North Macedonia Postal Code validator
How the postal code format works
- Format
- 4 digits
- Example
- 1000
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the postal code actually exists
- Always exactly 4 digits — one digit shorter than most of the other ex-Yugoslav republics' 5-digit codes
- Skopje's central code, 1000, follows the same country-code-omitted pattern used across the region since 1971
^[0-9]{4}$A North Macedonian postal code is the 4-digit code Macedonian Post (Пошта на Северна Македонија) uses to route mail — for example 1000 for Skopje. It stands out among its Balkan neighbors for being one digit shorter than the 5-digit codes Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro all still carry over from the wider Yugoslav-era numbering — North Macedonia’s own scale runs compact, from four-digit thousands rather than five-digit ten-thousands. Anyone validating a North Macedonian shipping address, a checkout form, or a spreadsheet of customer records needs the code in the right 4-digit shape before it’s trusted.
Because it’s a bare run of digits with no separator, a single dropped digit collapses a valid 4-digit code into a different, equally plausible one.
How this validator works
This tool checks that the input is exactly 4 digits with no letters, spaces, or hyphens, entirely in your browser, with nothing sent to a server.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
A postal code here carries no check digit, so matching the 4-digit shape is the most a client-side tool can confirm — not that Macedonian Post has assigned it to a real town. Confirming that requires Macedonian Post’s own postcode lookup.
Scope: this page and tool cover format validation only — not address lookup or confirming a postal code is currently in use.
postal code FAQ
Why is North Macedonia's postal code shorter than Serbia's or Bosnia's?
North Macedonia uses 4 digits, one fewer than most of its ex-Yugoslav neighbors, which kept the 5-digit codes assigned across the wider federation in 1971. North Macedonia's own numbering runs on a shorter, more compact scale — Skopje's central code is simply 1000.
What is Skopje's postal code?
1000, for the city center.
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 Macedonian Post's actual assignment list. Confirming a code is real, and seeing which town it names, requires Macedonian Post's own postcode lookup.
