Malta postal codes

Malta Post is in charge of distributing mail on the island. The postal code of Malta, Gozo, and Comino consists of seven alphanumeric characters and is written in the address below the village. The islands are organised into five districts in general. The postal codes begin with three capital letters known as location codes, which identify the sites of origin of the parcels.
