Frequently asked questions
Are these ZIP codes real?
Yes — every ZIP code the random ZIP code generator on Fake Addresses returns is a real ZIP Code Tabulation Area from the published dataset, sourced from official street and boundary reference data. None is an invented five-digit number that merely looks plausible.
Can I generate a ZIP code for a specific state?
Yes — choose a state below to sample from that US state’s own real, published ZIP codes on Fake Addresses, rather than a single national pool with no state boundary attached to it.
