Switzerland mailing address
Here is the general format for a mailing address in Switzerland:
Recipient's Name Street Address Postal Code City Country
In Switzerland, the postal code is usually a 4-digit number, and the city name is often abbreviated. Here's an example:
John Doe Bahnhofstrasse 12 8001 Zürich Switzerland
Here are some additional tips:
- Use the official Swiss postal code format, which is XXXX (4 digits).
- Use the official city name in German (e.g., Zürich, Bern, Basel), French (e.g., Genève, Lausanne, Fribourg), Italian (e.g., Lugano, Locarno), or Romansh (e.g., Chur, Samedan).
- If the recipient's street address is not available, you can use the postal code and city name only.
- Make sure to use the correct country name: "Switzerland" (in English) or "Suisse" (in French), "Schweiz" (in German), or "Svizzera" (in Italian).
Some popular cities in Switzerland and their postal codes are:
- Zürich: 8001, 8002, 8003, etc.
- Bern: 3011, 3012, 3013, etc.
- Basel: 4001, 4002, 4003, etc.
- Genève: 1201, 1202, 1203, etc.
- Lausanne: 1001, 1002, 1003, etc.
Remember to check the recipient's address carefully to ensure accuracy, as Swiss postal services are generally reliable but may not be able to deliver mail to incorrect addresses.
