What order should the components appear in?

For Latin-script international mail, put the institution or recipient first, then the published street or premises, any Taipa or Coloane district, and MACAO. In local Traditional Chinese, put the district first, followed by the street and number, building or unit details shown, the institution, and the recipient last. Follow the published address; do not force MACAO onto the last line of a Chinese address.

FAQ

No. CTT states that Macao has no postcode system. Leave the postcode field blank. Only if an online form makes the field mandatory may you enter 000000 there; it is a form placeholder, not a postcode, and must never appear in the address or Copy text.
