Sectors and neighbourhoods

A sector code is a useful shortcut, but two streets in the same sector can have different postal codes. Search the street for the exact one.

How to find a Bucharest postal code

1. Type the street and number in the search box (e.g. Lalelelor 12).
2. Add Sector 1 … Sector 6 if the results are ambiguous.
3. Copy the six-digit code.

Start with the English search. For a detailed explanation of the sector system, read the Bucharest postal codes guide.

Sending a parcel to Bucharest

Include the sector on the city line:

Ion Popescu
Strada Ciurea nr. 12, bl. A2, sc. 1, ap. 5
021926 București, Sector 2
România

Couriers also need a phone number in international format (+40 ...). Building, staircase and apartment details make the last-mile delivery much easier.

For developers

If you are building a checkout for Romanian customers, the Romanian postal code API can autocomplete Bucharest addresses and validate the six-digit code. The full technical reference is in the API documentation.
