Hi Rockmadman2007
The Zip code you have posted is an example of the USPS's Zip+4 zip codes.
A ZIP + 4 code uses the basic five-digit code plus an additional four digits to identify a geographic segment within the five-digit delivery area, such as a city block, a group of apartments, an individual high-volume receiver of mail or any other unit that could use an extra identifier to aid in efficient mail sorting and delivery.

ZIP code).

You should have your requests addressed with the Zip+4 zip code wherever possible, as it helps the post office sort and narrow down the area where your request is delivered. If you don't have the extra 4 digits it's OK as your request should still arrive at its intended destination.
