How to write a Slovak address

Ahoj and dobrý deň to you. I hear you're wondering how to address a letter to Slovakia. Perhaps you want to write a letter to a friend near the Bratislava castle or to your pen pal who lives just outside of Ochtinská Aragonite Cave. Either way, we're here to help and can get you writing a Slovakian address in no time flat. Below, you'll see the format, and we will provide you with several Slovakian address examples.

Smarty offers a comprehensive suite of address validation tools for addresses in Slovakia and other countries. Simply enter an address to format, standardize, and validate it lightning-fast. The address formatting in Slovakia 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 the street followed by the building number, with no punctuation between them.
  3. Postal code and city or town - The smaller district, followed by the larger city, with no punctuation between them.
  4. Country - This is often shortened to SVK
