If you are operating a business in Malta, it is important to know how to write the correct Malta address format for accurate delivery. There are different types of addresses, each with its specific address element requirement. If you want to send mail to your customers and clients in Malta, but don’t know the correct address format, we have got you covered. We have listed different types of address formats along with examples for each.

Malta Address Format Breakdown

Recipient Name

Write the name of the recipient. If you are sending the mail to a business, write the company’s name in the first line. In the second line write the name of the person and in the third line, write their department. You can add ATTN. in front of the person’s name to ensure that the right office and desk receives your mail.

Example:

LUCA JACK

Or

ABC LTD.

ATTN: LUCA JACK

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

Building Number

Write the house/building number and name in this line.

Example:

26 ANDILINA

Street Address

Add the name of the street for the residential and business addresses. In front of the street name, write Triq (Maltese for street). If the recipient uses a PO box, write the term “PO Box” and then the box number.

Example:

TRIQ IL-MERKANTI

Locality

Write the name of the city, town, or district in this line. Some of the major cities in Malta are Victoria, Valletta, Birgu, and Silema.

Postal Code

The postal codes are called postcodes in Malta and they are made up of the three alphabets and four numbers. The alphabets represent the locality code and the numbers are the postal codes.

The name of the country will come in the last line. If you are sending international mail to Malta, write the country name in capital letters.

Example:

MALTA

Special Considerations to Write a Malta Address

  • Number of Characters: Each line should have a maximum of 40 characters including the spaces.
  • Spacing: Separate the first three characters of the postcode from the last four numbers with a space.

Our Customers Say It Best

We have been using PostGrid for a few months. It works with our CRM, the software interface, efficiency, automation, and integration with no issues. Their support team is quick with resolution and their web portal is easy to access and transparent in retrieving transactions and analyzing weekly & monthly sending limits.

Chief Technology Officer

This API has turned out to be a great asset. We started off with 4000 mailings for 3 months and never had any downtime. I requested an increase in the sending limits and it was given to me in 10 minutes! I also have used PostGrid to verify our mailing lists. It’s been great to us and customer support is very reliable.

Vice President Of Engineering

We wanted a low-cost, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-use direct mail platform. Finally, PostGrid took all my worries in terms of snail mail. The pricing is very reasonable! There is almost no delay in the SLA’s commitment, and it is exciting to watch automation in action. Easy to build and maintain the mailing lists of our patients. Not to forget, reports can be generated, and a block editor can be used too!

Director Of Operations

We were looking for a solution to outsource and automate our process of mailing welcome letters to our customers. Previously had 2 dedicated people printing the postage label, stamping it manually and stuffing the mail and dropping it off at the postal office. It was very inefficient and could have caused major compliance issues. PostGrid helped us eliminate the entire manual process with their automation and API solution, now sending all mails smoothly.

Director of IT and Operations

Very straightforward, fast, and reliable address standardization API. We collect address data from multiple patients, clinical records, and providers and attempt to combine them into one. Addresses are often redundant or formatted differently in this process, which is our biggest challenge. PostGrid makes it easy for us to solve both of these problems simply by appending PostGrid to our datasets.
