Postal codes in the Faroe Islands

Previously, the Faroe Islands formed part of the Danish postcode system, introduced in 1967, which also included Greenland.^[2] This used the number range 3800 to 3899, and the "DK" prefix for Denmark:^[3]

Føroya Ferdamannafelag

DK-3800 Tórshavn

FAROE ISLANDS

Later on, the "FR" prefix was used:^[4]

DGU Føroyadeild

Debesartrøð

FR 3800 Tórshavn

FAROE ISLANDS

When the three-digit postal codes were first introduced, they were used for PO Box addresses, alongside the existing four-digit ones.^[5]
