Addresses may be written in Slovenian, in Italian (along the coastal strip) or in Hungarian (along the Hungarian border). The format is:

   Contact name
   thoroughfare name[ ]number
   []
   postal code[  ]SETTLEMENT

For example:

Address blocks written without empty lines are increasingly common.

When a form of address is used, it is written on a line on its own above the recipient’s name in this way:

   Gospod
   Ben Kovac

Two spaces may be placed between the postal code and the town name.

Company names and surnames may be found written in upper case in addresses.

In small villages, thoroughfares are not named and each house in the village will have a unique number. In these cases, the thoroughfare name will be replaced with the village name.

Large users may have their own postal codes, and the address is then written with no street address in this way:
