How an address is written in Malta
This is the order Malta's postal service expects. Square brackets mark what you replace.
[Recipient name]

MALTA
A postal code is optional in Malta addresses — mail is deliverable without one, though including it speeds up sorting. The postal code should be written in capital letters.
Look up a specific address
For the code covering one particular street or building, Malta's postal service publishes an official finder: www.maltapost.com/PostCode. It is authoritative and kept current, which third-party copies often are not.
