Away from home without an address?
If you are travelling overseas, staying in temporary accommodation or simply need to reach someone who does not have an address, post offices around the world offer a Poste Restante service.
If you are travelling and posting items on board a ship, post offices around the world offer the Paquebot service (scroll down for information).
La Poste Restante
Guernsey Post offers this service to anyone visiting.
Simply address your letter or item to La Poste Restante, followed by the recipient's name and address of the specific post office (Envoy House or Guernsey Post Business Hub) where you would like it delivered. Recipients can then collect the letter or package from that post office.
Please note: Your item will be held for collection for a maximum of one month.
There is no charge for Guernsey Post's Poste Restante service but postal administrations in other countries may charge.
