Moldova address format & examples

How to write a Moldovan address

From the underground wine cellars of Cricova (seriously, it's like a wine city down there!) to the lively markets of Chișinău, Moldova is the place where your mail might just want to stay and sip a glass of Merlot. Not sure how to write a Moldovan address? No worries—below is the proper Moldova address format and a helpful Moldovan address example to keep your mail on track. Whether your letter is destined for the capital city of Chișinău or a peaceful village in Transnistria, knowing the right mailing format means your package won't take an unexpected detour to toast with a glass of Negru de Purcari.

Smarty is your go-to for professional-grade location data. Just enter any Moldovan address, and we’ll format, standardize, and validate it faster than you can say "Plăcintă" (Moldova’s beloved pastry—give it a try!). Using the correct Moldova address format will ensure your mail isn’t rolling down the Nistru River. Here's how to use the right mailing format:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient’s full name, with any fitting titles (Wine Enthusiast? Chișinău Market Queen?).
  2. Street name and building number - First, the street name should be listed, followed by the building number, keeping it clear and simple.
  3. Postal code and city - The alphanumerical postal code comes first, followed by the city.
  4. Country - Written as Moldova, or simply MDA.
