5+4:

nnnnn-mmmm

Most of the time, just the basic 5 digits is enough, but sometimes the USPS
wants the additional 4 digits as well.

Whether or not you include the extra 4 digits or not depends on what you are
using the zip code for. UPS and FexEX for example don't use the extra 4
digits, but the USPS does. The extra four digits are important mostly for big
city addresses, where there might be multiple branch POs and/or delivery
routes, etc. for a given post office.
