Malta Address Format
The postcode is written in capital letters after the locality name on the same line. Street names are commonly written in Maltese with the prefix 'Triq' (street), and house numbers often carry a comma after them (e.g. '63, Triq San Pawl'). There is no state/region line; for international mail add 'MALTA' as the last line.
