Għaxaq postcodesĦal Għaxaq
Every postcode in Għaxaq starts with GXQ. The four digits after it narrow the address down to a street or a block, and they are the part you need to look up. Here is the shape of the code, and where the last four digits come from.
We publish the three letters, not the four digits. The full seven character list belongs to MaltaPost and is not released as an open dataset, so nobody can publish it honestly for free. What we can tell you with certainty is the prefix, and how to get the rest in one step.
Getting your four digits
- 1Check anything already addressed to you. A utility bill, an ID card, a delivered parcel. The full code is printed there as GXQ 1117 or similar.
- 2Use the official MaltaPost postcode finder and enter your street name. It returns the exact code for that street.
- 3If a foreign form will not accept a blank, a wrong last four digits still reaches Għaxaq; it just slows delivery. The three letters are the part that matters most.
The name in both languages
Maltese place names carry a definite article that English drops: Il-, Tas-, L-, Ħal. Forms printed in Maltese use the longer form; both refer to the same locality.
