How to write a North Macedonian address

From the stunning shores of Lake Ohrid to the mountain views surrounding Skopje, Macedonia (now officially known as North Macedonia) is the country of chill vibes. Whether you’re sending a letter to someone exploring ancient monasteries or mailing a package to a friend tasting some Ajvar (a delicious pepper spread), getting the correct Macedonia address format is key. After all, you wouldn’t want your mail getting lost in the Baba Mountains! We've got the right tools, plus a Macedonian address example, to make sure your mail arrives right on target

Using the proper Macedonia address format means your mail will reach its destination without embarking on its own odyssey through the Balkans. Whether you're exploring the vibrant life of Skopje, the peaceful vibes of Lake Ohrid, or its famous historical sites, we’ve got you covered with everything for the Macedonia address format. Here's a guide on how to write a Macedonian address:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, with any fitting titles (Mountain Conqueror? Balkan Music Maestro?).
  2. Street name and building number - List the street name followed by the building number without extra punctuation (unless you want to confuse the postman. Some people just like chaos).
  3. Local area or neighborhood - The local area goes on its own line.
  4. Postal code and city - These are listed on the same line without any separating punctuation.
  5. Country - Written as North Macedonia or simply MKD.
