Estonia address format & examples

How to write an Estonian address

Estnoia is famous for being the first country to offer e-residency, a program that allows non-Estonians to access Estonia's e-services like banking and taxes from anywhere in the world. Estonia is also famous for its countyside being over 50% covered by forests. And lastly, Estonia is famous for its address format. Ok, not really with that last one, but we're here to tell you how to address a letter to Estonia. We've selected an Estonian address example for you to follow.

Smarty is the best source for trustworthy location data. Simply enter any Esstonian address and get it returned formatted, standardized, and validated faster than you can type “Estonia.” Estonia’s address format can be written out as follows:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. Street and building number - List one after the other without any separating punctuation.
  3. Postal code and city - List one after the other without any separating punctuation.
  4. Postal code - The postal code goes on its own line.
  5. Country - Write EST in all caps.
