The Prefixes in the Alaska Zip Code List
- 995 – Anchorage, Eagle River, Matanuska-Susitna Valley
- 996 – Fairbanks, North Pole, Fort Wainwright
- 997 – Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Southeast Alaska
- 998 – Interior Alaska, Kodiak Island, Aleutian Islands
- 999 – Military and diplomatic addresses
The first three digits of a zip code represent a specific geographic region within the United States. The last two digits represent a specific post office or delivery area within that region.
Alaska has a relatively small population and is geographically very large, so it has relatively few zip code prefixes compared to other states.
However, the prefixes that do exist cover a wide range of geographic areas, from the major cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks to the remote villages of the Aleutian Islands.
