Taiwan address format & examples

How to write a Taiwanese address

More than just a "Life of Pie" filming location, Taiwan is jam-packed with night markets, traditional temples, beaches, and more. But how do you address a letter to Taiwan? Taiwan is divided into 22 subnational divisions, so your address needs to correctly notate exactly where you need the letter to go. We'll help you to write a letter to Taiwan, "méiguānxì" (no problem). We'll provide some Taiwan address examples for you too.

Try our suite of address validation tools for addresses in Taiwan. Simply enter a Taiwan address, and we'll format, standardize, and validate it with no problem. Address formatting in Taiwan can be written out as follows:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. Building number and street - List one after the other without any separating punctuation, though the street or lane may have punctuation in it.
  3. City and postal code - Write the city and the postal code on the same line with no punctuation between them.
  4. Country - This is often shortened to TWN.
