There are post offices in Betiuo, Bairiki and Bikenibeu on South Tarawa. There are no deliveries to houses. Deliveries are to post office boxes or to a poste restante service at the central post office in Bairiki.

On outer islands there are one-man postal agencies, usually located at the Island Council offices, but manned by a central government employee. Incoming mail will be sorted by village, with that for remote villages usually being delivered in bulk by the Island Council messenger.
