DG3 5EJ Postcode in

DG3 5EJ is a postal code used within the United Kingdom for delivering mail.

Postcodes are made up of two parts. The part before the space (DG3) is called the outward code. The part after the space (5EJ) is called the inward code. The letters C, I, K, M, O and V are not allowed in the inward code. In addition to the inward and outward code, the postcode can be broken up into four parts:
