Addressing mail to gibraltar

A unique one!

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located on the Iberian Peninsula, and its postal system is managed by the Gibraltar Postal Service. Here are the guidelines for addressing mail to Gibraltar:

Format:

• Use the following format for addressing mail to Gibraltar:
  • Recipient's Name
  • Street Address or PO Box Number
  • Gibraltar GX11 1AA (or GX11 1ZZ for PO Boxes)
  • United Kingdom (note: Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, but it is not part of the UK for postal purposes)

Additional tips:

• Make sure to use the correct postal code (GX11 1AA or GX11 1ZZ) to ensure timely delivery.
• If the recipient has a PO Box, use GX11 1ZZ as the postal code.
• Gibraltar uses the same postal rates as the UK, so you can use the same postage rates and stamps as you would for mail sent to the UK.
• Gibraltar is a small territory, so mail can be sent by air or surface mail, depending on the urgency and cost.
• If you're sending mail from outside the UK, you may need to use a special "Gibraltar" or "British Overseas Territory" stamp or franking to ensure it is delivered correctly.

Example:

• John Smith
• 10 Main Street
• Gibraltar GX11 1AA

Remember to check with your local post office or the Gibraltar Postal Service for any specific requirements or restrictions on sending mail to Gibraltar.
