Tips for practical management of international addresses External

Address formats, the order in which different address elements are printed on a label or envelope, differ widely. Using the table below, find which format number is used in the country in which you are interested, then refer to that number format in the Address Formats section. For countries which are not listed (where address structures are unsure or flexible), please refer to the appropriate country chapter.

This chapter covers postal address formats. For countries where deliveries are (mainly) to post office boxes and other mailing addresses, street address forms may also exist. For that information, please refer to the appropriate country chapter.

NB: In the Address Formats section, strings between square brackets ([]) should be typed exactly as written.

Fields or strings between curly brackets ({}) may or may not appear in an address.

The casing of the text indicates the casing of the address. Thus “Thoroughfare” cases, for example, as “Green Lane”, “thoroughfare” cases, for example, as “rue” whilst “SETTLEMENT” cases, for example, as “LONDON”.
