Postal codes in Denmark are determined by a four digit system that was introduced in 1967.[1] The only exceptions are five special purpose 3-digit codes.
The self-governing territory of Greenland is part of the Danish system (39xx).[2] Historically, the Faroe Islands also formed part of the Danish postal code system using the 38xx range and the prefix "FR", but this was changed to a new format consisting of a three-digit code and the country code "FO", with FR 3800 Tórshavn becoming FO-110 Tórshavn.[3]

The code is written before the city name. For example:
- 1000 København C
- 6100 Haderslev
- DK-9000 Aalborg
New regulations add the country code DK to the postal codes, but in practice it is most often omitted. DK or Denmark must be used when mailed from abroad.
