The British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar has introduced the postcode GX11 1AA.[1] This is pending the introduction of a postcode system similar to that used in the United Kingdom.[2] This has been under consideration by the Government of Gibraltar in 2006.[3] The postcode is not required for local mail.

Postal districts

The Royal Gibraltar Post Office has divided the territory into fourteen postal zones known as 'walks' or 'districts', each with a number or letter as well as a name,[4] but these are for internal use and not encountered in addresses. They are separate from the Major Residential Areas, used for statistical purposes.[5]
