Post office box should not be abbreviated to POB. The post office box number can have a length of 1 to 5 digits. The three island names for use on the last line are Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Do not include the word "island" in any of these names.

General delivery addresses have the format:

   Contact details
   [General Delivery]
   Post office name
