I need to know the valid billing ZIP Code (outside of USA)

I need to do some in app purchases in the Apple App Store but I am stuck in the billing address aprt because the system does not accept my area (21104, City: San Pedro Sula, Country: Honduras) postal code as valid.

How do I know what is the correct and valid postal code?

I keep getting a message that says that a valid code should read like "CM1102" my country does not uses letters in its postal code.

I never had this issue with google's play store.

Apple appears to be using the previous post code format for Honduras that uses 2 letters and 4 numbers.

2 letters to identify the department and then a 4 digit number. Seems it has since been replaced by the new numbers only format, but Apple still expects the old format.


Not sure if you can translate your current post code to the old format.

The valid postal code is your own postal code. No one can just give a postal code to use it has to be your own.


Make sure your Apple ID is set to the same country as the payment method you are trying to use. You cannot ue a payment method from a different country then the one set for your Apple ID.

The Postal code requirements are specific for each country. https://borninhonduras.com/2011/04/honduras-zip-codes.html

I know what my postal code is (211103) and it is the same postal code I have used for many online purchases for some years now. However, according to the system my postcode is not valid. I get a message that a valid postcode should look like "CM1102".

I want to change the change the country in my apple ID to the country I am currently living, but I cant because the postcode is not valid.
