You could do that before, but now you’ll be empowered with the knowledge to do it the right way with our new address formatting guide.) We have global formatting pages just for you! Here’s the proper format for addressing mail to Tuvalu:

  1. Building - If the address has a building name, this is where it goes.
  2. Street and premise - The street name comes first, followed by the building or unit number.
  3. Dependent locality - Local area or neighborhood goes on this line, if applicable.
  4. City and postal code - The city should be written first and followed by the postal code on the same line.
  5. Country - This can be shortened to TUV if you want.

We evaluated quite a few providers, and felt that Smarty was the right partner for us, given their user-friendly approach and robust support. It checked all of our boxes.
