Delivery Point Code

Output port that identifies a mailbox in an area covered by a ZIP+4 Code.

The USPS assigns a two-digit Delivery Point Code (DPC) to every mailbox in a ZIP+4 Code area. Address validation uses address reference data to add the DPC to an address. The DPC is a pair of digits between 00 and 99.

Delivery Point Code Usage

Select Delivery Point Code to add the DPC to the output address record. Add the DPC to the ZIP+4 Code to identify any deliverable address in the United States.

Address validation can generate a USPS barcode from the combined ZIP+4 Code and DPC information.
