Mexico ZIP code data restructured around the official source of Correos de México
Mexico has long presented a challenge, as non-unique postal codes, frequent updates, and inconsistent address formats make it difficult to obtain reliable data.
We've enhanced our Mexico ZIP code database to achieve deeper structural alignment with Correos de México.

Victorian mail sorters: Delivery without postal codes
It’s hard to imagine postal deliveries without postal systems or automated sorting hubs. Back in Victorian times, the mail system relied entirely on human skill, and some of it was impressive.
Postal clerks worked with wooden sorting frames holding up to 48 boxes.
And get this: some could sort up to 30 letters per minute, all based on memory.
That’s 1,800 letters an hour, without a postal code in sight.
They trained for months, memorising thousands of delivery routes to keep the system running smoothly.
This level of precision helped build the foundation for today’s location-based sorting.
While we’ve come a long way, it’s fun to look back and appreciate the brainpower that came before the algorithms. Follow us on LinkedInfor more geographical facts like this!
