The register of the postal codes is managed by the national postal services. The code is used in the cities where there are more than one postal office, and the register is used by the postman to dispatch the courier. Unfortunatly, there are not yet long/lat in the dataset; only the code and the name of the corresponding postal office. In the bigger city of the country, there're only 17 postal offices so, the postal services workers do not think it's useful to use long/lat. The data can be found at the HQ of the national postal service.
