Apple ID- Postcode is Invalid. Ireland.

Hi folks, despite my Country/ Region being correctly inputted on my Apple id, I have been continually getting the error code ‘ postcode is invalid’ when I try to input payment methods for purchases through the I store.

Ireland’s postcode/zip code system consists of 7 digits for example: F45 AB62. However when I attempt to enter a credit or debit card onto ios, my billing address is rejected as Apple requires a postcode, however it restricts Irish addresses to only one or two digits, which ultimately results in the above error code. This is an ongoing issue as there are many threads available online, in some cases going back 7 or 8 years.

Can anyone advise if there is a workaround on this problem or any alternative way of resolving this. For the record, I have spoken most recently to two Apple Support agents however they were unable to assist.

Thanks,

Danny.

See here fontane1977 post.

You need to split the postcode into 3 digits and 4 digits.
so if your postcode is D07X4Q6 you need to enter it as D07 X4Q6
