zip/postal code....tax ID number/TIN


Explanation:
From what I read here, http://www.sabainfo.ir/newsdetail-7706-fa.html شماره اقتصادی in the USA would be TIN (taxpayer identification number) See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Identification_Number

  -> true, but for those who get the number, it would still be called a "taxpayer identification number" in English, especially since it is issued by the tax office...and all taxpayers have some kind of TIN
