Watch the leading zero
Some Ecuador postal codes begin with a zero, such as 010101. Spreadsheets and some web forms silently drop it, turning 010101 into 10101 — which is either a different place or not a valid code at all. Format the column as text before pasting codes into a spreadsheet.
How an address is written in Ecuador
This is the order Ecuador's postal service expects. Square brackets mark what you replace.
[Recipient name]
[Street address]
[Postal code (090105)]
[City]
ECUADOR
A postal code is optional in Ecuador addresses — mail is deliverable without one, though including it speeds up sorting. The postal code should be written in capital letters.
Look up a specific address
For the code covering one particular street or building, Ecuador's postal service publishes an official finder: www.codigopostal.gob.ec. It is authoritative and kept current, which third-party copies often are not.
