From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Post codes in Malta are seven-character strings that form part of a
postal
address in
Malta . Post codes were first introduced in 1991 by the mail operator
MaltaPost . Like those in the
United Kingdom and
Canada , they are
alphanumeric .
Format
Since 2007, Maltese post codes consist of three letters that differ by locality, and four numbers. For example, an address in the capital
Valletta would have the following postcode:
Malta Chamber of Commerce
Exchange Buildings
Republic Street
Valletta VLT 1117
Exceptionally some postcodes begin with two letters - TP (Tigne Point).
Pre-2007 Format
In the previous format, the post codes consisted of three letters and two digits, written after the name of the locality.
Malta Chamber of Commerce
Exchange Buildings
Republic Street
Valletta VLT 05
