Getting zip-code + 4 from latitude/longitude

Does anyone know the best way to use the iPhone location services (lat/long) to determine the zip code+4 of the user? Does MKReverseGeocoder have the ability to pull back zip+4?

Thanks!

Apple's documentation says that the MKPlacemark that MKReverseGeocoder only returns a five-digit zip code. You may have to use an outside reverse geocoder as described in the other answers to get the extra four digits.

My favorite place to go for anything having to do with geocoding is geonames.org.

You may be able to use a free Reverse Geocoding service to do this for you.

Google has such a service: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#ReverseGeocoding

Alternately, this Google Groups post has a listing of other Reverse Geocoding services: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/web/resources-non-google-geocoders?pli=1
