Post Office Implements New
Address System
The mailing address on all
correspondences has changed as
the Correos de Costa Rica (post
office) implemented its new
postal code system, it announced
yesterday.
Now, every piece of mail sent
inside and out of Costa Rica
must include this new system,
which Correos de Costa Rica
begins to standardize addresses.
The new postal code system aims
to reduce, in the short term,
the errors made in bad
directions and the mail service
trying to find the right
mailbox.
This is the first step in an
ambitious project to standardize
addresses and mail service. The
second step will soon begin with
signs on all streets in the
country.
Moravia, east side of San José,
was chosen for the
implementation of the project.
During this month and in April,
Correos will offer information
so that the public will learn
the new system.
All addresses in Costa Rica will
soon, regardless of what
direction is placed on the
address line, a postal code that
is based on the Calles and
Avenidas and a number assigned
to each location. The number
will be based on the distance in
metrers from the cross corners.
The new system will not affect
p.o. boxes.
More information on the new
address system is available at
any post office or at
www.correso.go.cr.
