The nine-digit ZIP code is required for all classes of mail. The ALNAV message is available at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/messages/Documents/ALNAVS/ALN2013/ALN13047.txt. ZIP codes are a system of postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) since 1963. The term ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan. All U.S. addresses have a standard five-digit ZIP code that informs the postal service of the area of the country and the post office where mail is received. In 1983, the USPS added four digits to ZIP codes to help further pinpoint a recipient's location.
Using area codes to help efficiently sort post was introduced in 1943. However, by the. 1950's a more specific and detailed guide was needed. This is when the United States Postal Service began using the ZIP code (ZIP meaning Zone Improvement Plan). It was first thought of by postal inspector Robert Moon - he submitted the proposal for a ZIP code in 1944.
