Taiwan address format, validation, & examples
How to write a Taiwanese address
More than just a "Life of Pi" 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 note exactly where you need the letter to go.
This guide will help you to write a letter to Taiwan, "méiguānxì" (no problem). We'll also provide some Taiwanese address examples and help you understand how Taiwanese address validation and verification work.
Try our suite of address validation tools for addresses in Taiwan. Simply enter a Taiwanese address into our tool, and we'll format, standardize, and validate it with no problem. Address formatting in Taiwan can be written out as follows:
- Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
- Building number and street - List one after the other without any separating punctuation, though the street or lane may have punctuation in it.
- City and postal code - Write the city and the postal code on the same line with no punctuation between them.
- Country - This is shortened to TWN.

Valid Taiwan address examples
Address validation and verification in Taiwan
Taiwanese address validation, also known as Taiwanese address verification, checks addresses against an authoritative database. If a match is found, the address is considered valid. Otherwise, it’s invalid. To complete this process, you can validate Taiwanese addresses with a single address lookup tool or a Taiwanese address validation API.
Taiwanese address verification APIs help businesses in the insurance, finance, healthcare, and ecommerce industries keep their addresses clean and standardized before they’re used to power workflows.
