Postal codes in the Faroe Islands consist of the two letter ISO 3166 code "FO", followed by three digits:
- P/F Postverk Føroya
- Óðinshædd 22
- FO-100 Tórshavn
- FAROE ISLANDS
PO Box addresses
Separate postal codes are used for PO Box addresses, known in Faroese as postsmogur, in the capital Tórshavn and some other towns:[1]
- HN Jacobsens Bókahandil
- Postboks 55
- FO-110 Tórshavn
- FAROE ISLANDS
Former Danish postal codes
Previously, the Faroe Islands formed part of the Danish postcode system, introduced in 1967, which also included Greenland.[2] This used the number range 3800 to 3899, and the "DK" prefix for Denmark:[3]
- Føroya Ferdamannafelag
- DK-3800 Tórshavn
- FAROE ISLANDS
Later on, the "FR" prefix was used:[4]
- DGU Føroyadeild
- Debesartrøð
- FR 3800 Tórshavn
- FAROE ISLANDS
When the three-digit postal codes were first introduced, they were used for PO Box addresses, alongside the existing four-digit ones.[5]
