Postcode Finder (Dutch language)

Yes, the Netherlands' postcodes are that country's equivalent of America's zip codes. Postcodes consist of four numerals and two letters, with a space separating the numerals from the letters. If you know a street address and the town/village/city/locality, the PTT Post postcode finder can probably tell you the appropriate postcode.
