The method only checks if the format is correct. There are ways to check postcodes, but AFAIK the list is not publicly available anywhere... > > - bankcode (only format) I think this will make the whole thing quite complex... You will later have 5 small classes for 5 simple methods. I'm not sure if this will be useful... > Is there any list of area-codes available that could be of use?

If this is available in various > countries somehow - how about opening a new "category" Validate- > Telephone or similar which would have a DE.php-part?
