Switzerland

Official name: The Swiss Confederation or Switzerland

Due to its long tradition of political and military neutrality, Switzerland today is one of the most favored locations for international organizations. A special challenge for mail to Switzerland is the multilinguality - German, French and Italian are the three main languages.

Home addresses:

STREET_NAME HOUSE_NUMBER
POSTAL_CODE CITY
SWITZERLAND


Company addresses:

COMPANY_NAME
NAME
STREET_NAME HOUSE_NUMBER

SWITZERLAND

The street names are written either in German, or French, or Italian according to the region.

Street types

Common terms for Swiss street types are:

Strasse, Weg, Gasse, Rue, Route, Chemin, Strada

The official terms for post-office box are Postfach, Case Postale and Casella Postale.

Postal code system

The postal code consists of four digits. The first digit indicates the region, the second the district, the third the route, and the fourth the destination location. Example:

8184 Bachenbülach

Of course all AddressDoctor products support this format.
