[[UK postcodes|Postcodes]] were introduced in the [[Isle of Man]] in 1993, with the island becoming the '''IM postcode area'''. Each town or area is associated with one or more postcode districts, assigned by [[Isle of Man Post Office]]. Outside the larger towns, the postcode districts are further broken down and each postal sector is assigned to a number of villages and settlements.

Mail for the IM postcode area is processed by the [[Isle of Man Post Office]] at their headquarters in [[Douglas, Isle of Man|Douglas]].

==Coverage==
The approximate coverage of the postcode districts (and sectors, where relevant) is as follows. In each case the [[post town]] is "ISLE OF MAN". The "coverage" column includes the next digit of the post code (the sector).
