What is the postal abbreviation for Puerto Rico?

The postal abbreviation for Puerto Rico is PR. Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and briefly called Porto Rico, is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the northeast Caribbean Sea, approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 km) southeast of Miami, Florida.

An archipelago among the Greater Antilles, Puerto Rico includes the eponymous main island and several smaller islands, such as Mona, Culebra, and Vieques. The capital and most populous city is San Juan. The territory's total population is approximately 3.4 million. Spanish and English are the official languages, though Spanish predominates. Puerto Rico's unique heritage, culture, and natural beauty has made it a top tourism destination.

There easy questions, but you can learn from them also. On several I've aquired info that I had no idea about.

Cheryl McMeekin, Sometimes, but the information provided for PR was not the best. PR is not known for being an archipelago, although in theory it is, as probably all the so called islands, Mona is inhabited and you need a permit and a boat to go there, so most people can't go. The only 2 off the coast habited islands are Vieques and Culebra. Anyhow, there is so much interesting information that could have been given, instead.

There seems to be a trend here that the answer to abbreviation questions is always the first choice.

Joan Schmidt, Puerto Rico is not a territory; it is a commonwealth. This is a very important difference.

I was sure it wasn't PU, what with its association with certain smells!! At any rate, PR is certainly the most logical, regardless of the post office, since it is a two letter name.
