Postal Codes in Ukraine - First Two Digits

First Two Digits

First two digits of Ukrainian postal code can change from 01 to 99 ("00" combination isn't used at the first two positions) indicating national-level administrative units of state governance:

1. Kiev – based on its size and capital status, postal codes starting with combinations 01-06 are assigned;
2. Oblasts – each of 24 oblasts is assigned several pairs of digits (2 to 6), where the smallest pair is used for postal encoding in the oblast's capital city;
3. Autonomous Republic of Crimea – the same postal code system as oblasts;
4. Sevastopol – city with special status of national-level governance, where postal codes begin with "99".

Furthermore, one pair of first two postal code digits ("50") is assigned to the city of Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast as an exemption.

Example:

68 – Odessa Oblast, raions of south part.
