Switzerland address formats

Switzerland utilizes a standardized four-digit numeric postal code system known as NPA, which is placed before the city or town name. Addresses typically include the recipient’s name, followed by the street name and house number, or a Post Office Box indicated by the term Postfach. For international mail, the country name should be written in capital letters on the final line of the address.

Address Format

Typical address components include:

  • Name of addressee
  • Street name + number OR P.O. box + exact post office
  • POSTCODE town [ + canton abbreviation if needed ]
  • SWITZERLAND

Administrative Hierarchy Used

  • Cantons (Kantone)
  • Districts (Bezirke)/Electoral districts (Wahlkreise)
  • Municipalities (Gemeinden)/Kommunanzen/Enclaves (Enklaven)

Management & Authority

The primary postal authority for Switzerland is La Poste Suisse

Special characteristics

There are four official languages in the country. Postcodes can cross cantonal and municipal boundaries. Some foreign localities in Germany and Italy are served by Swiss Post. Liechtenstein postal data is also managed by Swiss Post.
