Post - How should I address letters and parcels?

Answer

In order to ensure that your mail gets delivered promptly and correctly, it is important to include both the recipient’s address and the sender’s address and stamp the envelope or parcel accurately.

If we take a letter as an example, the recommended address format should be as follows: 

Front of the envelope

  • Name of recipient
  • House/Building number + House/Flat name + Flat number (if applicable) + Street name
  • Locality and postcode
  • Country name

Front of an addressed envelope

Back of the envelope

  • Full name of sender
  • House/Building number + House/Flat name + Flat number (if applicable) + Street name
  • Locality and postcode
  • Country name

Back of an addressed envelope

If you need to find any local postcodes, log on to MaltaPost’s postcode finder.
