Uk postal address format from abroad

Our advanced letter sorting technology reads addresses electronically, so it's important you address your mail clearly and in the following format: Typically, the address should be written in three lines: The top line should contain the recipient's name The second to last line should contain the
number and name of the street, PO Box or locked bag number (if applicable) The last line should contain the place name or post office of delivery, state or territory abbreviation and postcode. This line should be printed in capitals without punctuation or underlining, with the postcode put last
For international mail, the country name should be in capitals on the bottom line Helpful hints for addressing envelopes Use the correct postcode (you can use our find a postcode tool to do this) Print clearly using dark ink; preferably black on white. Avoid using red, yellow or orange ink
Don't indent or stagger address lines Don't underline any words Include a return address so we can return the letter if it can't be delivered. Put your address in the top left corner, or on the back flap of the envelope For machine-addressed envelopes, we recommend using clear readable
type such as Courier 12 point or 10 pitch. Use pre-printed envelopes with the 4 postcode squares if you're addressing by hand, and print the destination postcode clearly in those squares. Including Traditional Place names To acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land your item is
being delivered on, you can include those place names in the address field. To find Traditional Place names, check AIATSIS, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Land Councils, or Cultural Centres in your local area. When sending items you can include a Traditional Place name in either
the address you’re sending from, or in the recipient’s address. In the ‘from’ address when sending To ensure that the item will be delivered correctly we recommend that the Traditional Place name is included below your name or company name, but above the street address. In the ‘to’
address when sending When addressing a parcel or letter, place the Traditional Place name after the recipient’s name, but before the street address, suburb or town. When receiving items As a recipient you’re welcome to include a Traditional Place name when providing your delivery
address, either online or in person. To acknowledge Traditional Custodians, include the Traditional Place name below your name, but above your street address. At Australia Post, we have a long and proud history of promoting and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture
and implementing measures that contribute to a lasting reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. To make sure the item will be delivered correctly we recommend that the Traditional Place name is included below the recipient’s name but above the street address.
Collection of information that describes the location of a building, apartment, or other structure For other uses, see Address (disambiguation). An address is a collection of information, presented in a mostly fixed format, used to give the location of a building, apartment, or other structure or a
plot of land, generally using political boundaries and street names as references, along with other identifiers such as house or apartment numbers and organization name. Some addresses also contain special codes, such as a postal code, to make identification easier and aid in the routing
of mail. Addresses provide a means of physically locating a building. They are used in identifying buildings as the end points of a postal system and as parameters in statistics collection, especially in census-taking and the insurance industry. Address formats are different in different places,
and unlike latitude and longitude coordinates, there is no simple mapping from an address to a location. History Further information: House numbering § History Until the 18th and 19th centuries, most houses and buildings were not numbered.[1] Street naming and numbering began under
the age of Enlightenment, also as part of campaigns for census and military conscription, such as in the dominions of Maria Theresa in the mid 18th century.[1] Numbering allowed everyone to efficiently receive mail, as the postal system evolved in the 18th and 19th century to reach
widespread usage.[1] Comprehensive addressing of all buildings is still not complete, even in developed countries.[1] For example, the Navajo Nation in the United States was still assigning rural addresses as of 2015[2][3] and the lack of addresses can be used for voter disenfranchisement
in the USA.[1][4] In many cities in Asia, most minor streets were never named, and this is still the case today in much of Japan. A third of houses in Ireland lacked unique numbers until the introduction of Eircode in 2014.[citation needed] This section needs expansion. You can help by adding

template message) House numbering or naming Main article: House numbering In most English-speaking countries, the usual method of house numbering is an alternating numbering scheme progressing in each direction along a street, with odd numbers on one side (often west or south or
the left-hand side leading away from a main road) and even numbers on the other side, although there is significant variation on this basic pattern. Many older towns and cities in the UK have "up and down" numbering where the numbers progress sequentially along one side of the road, and
then sequentially back down the other side. Cities in North America, particularly those planned on a grid plan, often incorporate block numbers, quadrants (explained below), and cardinal directions into their street numbers, so that in many such cities, addresses roughly follow a Cartesian
coordinate system.[5] Some other cities around the world have their own schemes. Although house numbering is the principal identification scheme in many parts of the world, it is also common for houses in the United Kingdom and Ireland to be identified by name, rather than number,
especially in villages. In these cases, the street name will usually follow the house name. Such an address might read: "Smith Cottage, Frog Lane, Barchester, Barsetshire, BZ9 9BA" or "Dunroamin, Emo, Co. Laois, Ireland" (fictional examples). Quadrants In cities with Cartesian-coordinate-
based addressing systems, the streets that form the north–south and east–west dividing lines constitute the x and y axes of a Cartesian coordinate plane and thus divide the city into quadrants. The quadrants are typically identified in the street names, although the manner of doing so varies
from city to city. For example, in one city, all streets in the northeast quadrant may have "NE" prefixed or suffixed to their street names, while in another, the intersection of North Calvert Street and East 27th Street can be only in the northeast quadrant. Street-naming conventions Street
names may follow a variety of themes. In many North American cities, such as, San Francisco USA, and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Vancouver, British Columbia, streets are simply numbered sequentially across the street grid. Washington, D.C. has its numbered streets running north–
south and lettered or alphabetically named streets running east–west, while diagonal avenues are typically named after states. In Salt Lake City, and many other Utah cities, streets are in a large grid and are numbered in increments of 100 based on their location relative to the center of the
city in blocks. A similar system is in use in Detroit with the Mile Road System. In some housing developments in North America and elsewhere, street names may all follow the same theme (for example, bird species), or start with the same letter. Streets in Continental Europe, the Middle
East, and Latin America are often named after famous people or significant dates. Postal codes Postal codes are a relatively recent development in addressing, designed to speed the sorting and processing of mail by assigning unique numeric or alphanumeric codes to each geographical
locality. Postal alternatives to physical addresses For privacy and other purposes, postal services have made it possible to receive mail without revealing one's physical address or even having a fixed physical address. Examples are post office boxes, service addresses and poste restante
(general delivery). Address format Write Your Address Clearly, public service poster, James Fitton (1958) In most of the world, addresses are written in order from most specific to general, i.e. finest to coarsest information, starting with the addressee and ending with the largest geographical
unit. For example:[6] Format Example Name Company name Street City area/District City/Town/Village County Postal code Country (in French or English) Mr A. Payne ARAMARK Ltd. 30 Commercial Road Fratton PORTSMOUTH Hampshire PO1 1AA UNITED KINGDOM In English-
speaking countries, the postal code usually comes last. In much of Europe, the code precedes the town name, thus: "1010 Lausanne". Sometimes, the ISO 3166 country code is placed in front of the postal code: "CH-1010 Lausanne".[7] If a house number is provided, it is written on the
same line as the street name; a house name is written on the previous line. When addresses are written inline, line breaks are replaced by commas. Conventions on the placing of house numbers differ: either before or after the street name. Similarly, there are differences in the placement of
postal codes: in the UK, they are written on a separate line at the end of the address; in Australia, Canada and the United States, they usually appear immediately after the state or province, on the same line; in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and The Netherlands they appear before the
city, on the same line. East Asian addressing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese addressing systems, when written in their native scripts, use the opposite ordering, starting with the province/prefecture, ending with the addressee. However both have the same
order as western countries when written in the Latin alphabet. The Hungarian system also goes from large to small units, except that the name of the addressee is put into the first line. The Universal Postal Convention strongly recommends the following: "The addressee's address shall be
worded in a precise and complete manner. It shall be written very legibly in roman letters and Arabic numerals. If other letters and numerals are used in the country of destination, it shall be recommended that the address be given also in these letters and numerals. The name of the place of
destination and the name of the country of destination shall be written in capital letters together with the correct postcode number or delivery zone number or post office box number, if any. The name of the country of destination shall be written preferably in the language of the country of
origin. To avoid any difficulty in the countries of transit, it is desirable for the name of the country of destination to be added in an internationally known language. Designated operators may recommend that, on items addressed to countries where the recommended position of the postcode is
in front of the name of the location of destination, the postcode should be preceded by the EN ISO 3166–1 Alpha 2 country code followed by a hyphen. This shall in no way detract from the requirement for the name of the destination country to be printed in full."[8] Format by country and

article: Postcodes in Australia In common with the rest of the English-speaking world, addresses in Australia put the street number—which may be a range—before the street name, and the placename before the postcode. Unlike addresses in most other comparable places, the city is not
included in the address, but rather a much more fine-grained locality is used, usually referred to in Australia as a suburb or locality – although these words are understood in a different way than in other countries. Because the suburb or town serves to locate the street or delivery type, the
postcode serves only as routing information rather than to distinguish previous other parts of an address. As an example, there are around 8000 localities in Victoria (cf. List of localities in Victoria (Australia) and List of Melbourne suburbs), yet around 700 unique geographic postcodes.[9] For
certain large volume receivers or post offices, the "locality" may be an institution or street name. It is always considered incorrect to include the city or metropolis name in an address (unless this happens to be the name of the suburb), and doing so may delay delivery. Australia Post
recommends[10] that the last line of the address should be set in capital letters. In Australia, subunits are essential and should be separated from the street by two spaces; apartments, flats and units are typically separated with a forward slash (/) instead. Apartment, flat and unit numbers, if
necessary, are shown immediately prior to the street number (which might be a range), and, as noted above, are separated from the street number by a forward slash. These conventions can cause confusion. To clarify, 3/17 Adam Street would mean Apartment 3 (before the slash) at 17
Adam Street (in the case of a residential address) or Unit 3 at 17 Adam St (in the case of a business park). On the other hand, 3–17 Adam Street would specify a large building (or cluster of related buildings) occupying the lots spanning street numbers 3 to 17 on one side of Adam St
(without specifying any particular place within the buildings). These forms can be combined, so 3/5–9 Eve Street signifies Apartment 3 (before the slash) in a building which spans street numbers 5 to 9 on one side of Eve Street. As in the US, the state/territory is crucial information as many
placenames are reused in different states/territories; it is usually separated from the suburb with two spaces and abbreviated. In printed matter, the postcode follows after two spaces; in handwritten matter, the postcode should be written in the boxes provided. Format Example Street

Australian Post Addressing Guidelines "Property numbers are worked out based on the distance from the start of the road to the entrance of the property. That distance (in metres) is divided by ten. Even numbers are on the right and odd numbers are on the left. For example: the entrance
to a property 5,080 metres from the start of the road on the right hand side becomes number 508. The start of the road is determined as the fastest and safest road accessed from the nearest major road or town. Rural road maps are being drawn up to define the name, the start point and
direction of every rural road."[11] Austria In Austria, the address is generally formatted as follows: Format Example Addressee (Natural person/Organization) More detailed description of addressee (optional) Street name + number Postal code + town Country (if other than Austria) Firma

GopalganjBangladesh Belarus In Belarus, Some neighbourhoods may be planned in such a way that some, or most, apartment buildings don't face a named street. In this case, a number of expedients can be used. In older neighbourhoods, a "main" building may have the same number as
one or more "subsidiary" buildings accessible via driveways behind the main building. They will be addressed as vul. Lenina, d. 123 (123 Lenin St) An address may also cover one or more subsidiary buildings behind the main building, addressed as vul. Lenina, d. 123, bud. 2 (123 Lenin St,
unit 2, where bud. (abbreviation for будынак, budynakcode: bel promoted to code: be ) means a '(subsidiary) building'). In newer areas with more regular street plans, apartment buildings that do not face a named street may be designated with Cyrillic letters appended to the building
number, e.g. 123-а, 123-б, etc., in Cyrillic alphabetical order. In some microraion neighbourhoods, with few, if any, buildings facing named streets, the name (or more likely number of the microraion (planned housing development)) would be used instead of the street name; thus someone
may live at 4-th microrayon, d. 123, kv. 56, i.e. 123 - 4th Microraion, apt. 56. Format Cyrillic example Latin example Name of addressee Street name, number, apartment/room Village (in rural areas when different from post office) Postal code, post office (in rural areas) or city/town Raion

680 States can have their name written in full, abbreviated in some way, or totally abbreviated to two letters (SP = São Paulo, RJ = Rio de Janeiro, etc.). Only towns with 60,000 inhabitants and above have postal codes individualized for streets, roads, avenues, etc. One street can have
several postal codes (by odd/even numbers side or by segment). These postcodes range from -000 to -899. Other towns have only a generic postcode with the suffix -000. Recipients of bulk mail (large companies, condos, etc.) have specific postcodes, with a suffix ranging from -900 to -
959. P.O. boxes are mailed to Correios offices, with suffixes ranging from -970 to -979. Some rural settlements have community postboxes with suffix -990. Bulgaria Similar to Belgium and most other European countries, in Bulgaria the address starts with the most specific information

Addressing guidelines can differ between English- and French-speaking populations in Canada. Here are some formatting rules that are used in common: Cardinal directions like North, North West, etc. can be abbreviated in either English or French, and appear after the street name. Ordinal
numbered streets (e.g. 6th, 2nd) can be written in either English or French. If there is an apartment number it should be written before the house number and separated by a hyphen. Name of city or town followed by two letter provincial abbreviations Postal codes come in a letter-number-
letter-space-number-letter-number format, for example: A1A 1A1. There should be two spaces between the province abbreviation and the postal code. If sending a parcel from outside Canada, the word "CANADA" must be placed at the very bottom. See the example below for a comparison
of the English and French address formats: English (from Canada Post): NICOLE MARTIN 123 SHERBROOKE ST TORONTO ON L3R 9P6 French (from the OQLF): Monsieur Jean-Pierre Lamarre 101–3485, rue de la Montagne Montréal (Québec) H3G 2A6 See Canada Post's

included by people. All postal codes have seven digits, the first three indicating the municipality, the next four identifying a block or in large and scarcely populated areas a quadrant within the municipal territory. The territories of most of the larger cities comprise several adjacent
municipalities, so it is important to mention it. Format Example Recipient name Street and number Apartment (if needed) Postal code (rarely used) Municipality City (not needed) Sr. Rodrigo DomínguezAv. Bellavista N° 185Dep. 6098420507RecoletaSantiagocode: spa promoted to code: es

be before the town (or post office) name. On private letters, the first line is usually constituted by a courtesy title (pan, paní, slečna, žákcode: ces promoted to code: cs ...) For private mails addressed to the workplace, the order is (name + company), while in official mails it is (company +
name). The basic system of house numbering uses conscription[clarification needed] house numbers (čísla popisná, čp. or č. p.code: ces promoted to code: cs ). For a temporary or recreational house[clarification needed], an evidentional[clarification needed] house number (číslo evidenční,
ev. č.code: ces promoted to code: cs or če.code: ces promoted to code: cs , or distinguished by initial 0 or E prefix) is used instead. In most larger cities and also in some towns and large villages with street names, there is a double system of house numbering. The first number is the
conscription or evidentional number (which corresponds to the chronological order of cadastral registration of the house), and the second number (after a slash) is the orientational number (orientační číslo, č. or., č. o.code: ces promoted to code: cs ) which expresses the position in the
street. Sometimes only one of the two numbers is used, or the numbers are used in reverse order, and it can be difficult to distinguish which number is which. Generally, orientation numbers (if they exist) are preferred for mail services. How to correctly address mail Denmark Further
information: List of postal codes in Denmark In Denmark, apartment buildings will usually have two or three apartments per floor. Thus, if the addressee lives in an apartment, the address should contain the floor they live on, and a side (t.v., mf.code: dan promoted to code: da or t.h.code:
dan promoted to code: da , meaning "to the left", "in the middle" and "to the right", respectively) or an alphanumeric character (1, 2, 3... or A, B, C...= starting from left seen from the top most step just before the floor). Also, for postal codes 2000 and up, there is a 1:1 relationship between
postal code and town. Format Example NameStreet name + number + apartment floor and t.h./mf./t.v. (optional)Postal code + town Stig JensenSolvej 5, 4. t.v.5250 Odense SVcode: dan promoted to code: da Estonia In Estonia, use the following format. Format Example NameStreet +

other employee is allowed to open the letter but the indicated recipient. If the company name is before the person's name, then the company is the recipient and any employee is allowed to open the letter. The apartment number can formatted as "as 5code: fin promoted to code: fi " (ascode:
fin promoted to code: fi is an abbreviation for asuntocode: fin promoted to code: fi , apartment) or as "C 55code: fin promoted to code: fi " (the letter indicates the correct staircase in apartment blocks with several entrances.) Finland uses a five-digit postal code. Note that some larger
companies and organizations have their own postal codes. France Main article: Postal codes in France In France, the address is generally formatted as follows: Format Example Addressee (Natural person/Organization)More detailed description of addressee (optional)House number + , +

Organisations, government agencies, and companies which receive large amounts of mail often have a special CEDEX address which goes after the last line (for instance, "75001 PARIS CEDEX"). Germany In Germany, the address is generally formatted as follows: Format Example

five digits. Organizations that receive large amounts of mail may be assigned a bulk customer postal code. These are different from regular postal codes in that they do not have a street name line. Some bulk customer postal codes are shared between several organizations. There are a few
places that have house numbers but no street names (e.g. Baltrum) as well as addresses that have a street name but no house number. Some (but not all) private post companies are also able to deliver to Deutsche Post-operated P.O. boxes. Post codes follow the structure of DPAG's mail
routing, not administrative boundaries. Each post code is used exclusively for street addresses, P.O. boxes or bulk recipients. Sub-building information, such as apartment numbers, is rarely used—a name on the post box is usually the only method of identification of an addressee within a
building. Greece Hellenic Post recommends the following format for Greek addresses:[14] Format Example (Greek) Example (Latin) RecipientStreet AddressPostcode, TOWN Π. ΠαύλουΔοϊράνης 25653 02 ΚΑΒΑΛΑcode: ell promoted to code: el P. PavlouDoiranis 25653 02 KAVALAcode:

postcode by two spaces. When sending mail abroad, or when sending mail from abroad to Greece, Hellenic Post recommends the following format:[15] Format Example (Greek) Example (Latin) RecipientStreet AddressCOUNTRY CODE-Postcode, TOWNCOUNTRY Α.

preceded by the international prefix of the country of delivery (for Greece, GR). Below the destination, the country of delivery must be written in capital letters, either in English or French (for Greece, GRÈCE or GREECE). Hong Kong The official languages of Hong Kong are Chinese and
English. For domestic mail within Hong Kong, the address may be written entirely in either Chinese or English. For overseas mail going out from Hong Kong, the address may be written in the language of the destination country, provided that the city name and the country name are in

English.[16] However, for an overseas mail from Hong Kong to Mainland China, Macao, Taiwan or Singapore, the address may be written entirely in Chinese. While traditional Chinese characters are commonly used in Hong Kong, simplified Chinese characters are also understood by Hong
Kong's postmen. Note that Hong Kong does not use any postal codes, though many rural properties have a property identification code, e.g. HKT-12345. An address written in English should begin with the smallest unit and end with the largest unit, as in the following example for a
domestic mail within Hong Kong. Format Example Name of addresseeFlat number, Floor number, Name of building (if a rural address: (Flat number, Floor number,) Name/number of house)Street number and street name (if a rural address: Village name)Name of district"Hong Kong", "Hong

"Hong Kong" should be added at the end of an address written in English, and ⾹港 should be added at the beginning of an address written in Chinese. Hungary In Hungarian mail addresses, the city/town name precedes the street address. The post code then comes after the street
address. Format[17] Example Addressee (name or company name)City or townStreet name and number and floor/door, or P.O. Box number Postal code Kis ZoltánBudapestÁrpád fejedelem útja 82. fszt. 21036code: hun promoted to code: hu Hungarian family names precede given names

continues with progressively smaller subdivisions before ending with the addressee, i.e. country, prefecture, town, chōme, banchi, building number, building name, floor number, company name, addressee. This is the most common addressing format used when mailing within Japan. It is
common practice to add the appropriate honorific to the addressee's name, e.g. 様 for a private individual or 御中 for a company or institution. When written in the Latin alphabet, the address begins with the smallest geographical area and ends with the largest one as in the Anglicized
example in the table. Macrons (as on ō and ū) may be omitted. Japanese-style envelopes are vertically aligned and the address is written from top to bottom, then right to left. Western-style envelopes are horizontally aligned and the address is written from left to right, top to bottom. Latvia In

code + townCountry - Optional Thomas van der LandenBoschdijk 10925631 AV EINDHOVENNETHERLANDS The postal code is a unique street identifier, and always consists of four numbers followed by a space and then two capital letters. PostNL, which is appointed by the Dutch
government to carry out the UPD (Dutch for Universal Postal Service), recommends putting two spaces between postal code and town. Also, the name of the town should be written in capitals.[20] Because the Dutch postal code uniquely identifies a street, a shortened format may also be
used. This method only needs the postal code and the number. The ideal format for this method is the number after the postal code, meaning that this: '5631 AV 1092' will still get the letter delivered to the correct location. It is also possible to replace the street name line with a PO box (e.g.
"postbus 1200") or freepost number (e.g. "antwoordnummer 150"), which have their own postal code. Further information: Category:Postal system of the Netherlands New Zealand Main article: Postcodes in New Zealand § Examples In New Zealand, New Zealand Post recommends the
following format: Format Example Recipient name Flat number/House number Street address or PO Box number Suburb or RD Number or PO Box lobby name (if not the same as the town/city)Town/City Postcode Mr John Smith 43 Vogel Street Roslyn Palmerston North 4414 Note that no
space or full stops exists between P and O in PO Box or R and D in RD. One should put only one space between the town/city and the postcode. Note for Wellington metropolitan area, users should use the city name (i.e. Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua), not the metropolitan
area name. For example: Incorrect Correct Correct 1 Molesworth Street Taitā Wellington 5011 1 Molesworth Street Taitā Lower Hutt 5011 1 Molesworth Street Thorndon Wellington 6011 The city in this case is important, as if Wellington is used instead of Lower Hutt and the postcode is
unclear (note only the first digit differs), someone's private mail could accidentally be sent to the New Zealand Parliament Buildings instead (or vice versa). One anomaly about this system is the Wellington Mail Centre, which is addressed as Wellington Mail Centre, Lower Hutt 5045, due to
its location in the Lower Hutt suburb of Petone. Norway Postal addresses in Norway are formatted as follows: Format Example Recipient (Person or Entity)Street Name + NumberPostal Code + Postal TownCountry (only if sending from abroad) Kari NormannStorgata 81A6415 MoldeNorway
The first line, Recipient (Person or Entity), is the legal recipient of the item being sent. The Recipient's name must be marked on the mail box in order for the item to be delivered. Flat or floor number is not part of Norwegian postal addresses. The postal code (always four digits) is
mandatory. If a PO box is used (e.g. Postboks 250 Sentrum), it replaces Street name + Number. PO box addresses have postal codes which differ from those used for street addresses. Some areas do not have street names. For these areas, Street name + Number is replaced by a local
designation determined by the Norwegian postal service. Oman In the Sultanate of Oman (2012), the address is formatted as follows:[21] Format Example NameStreet number + house numberBlock numberAreaCity Way 2259, 2919Block 222Murtafaat Al QurmMuscat Physical addresses

third: the code sector, the fourth and fifth signify the post office and its area of operation. Usually the code is unique on the street level for cities and the town level for smaller towns and villages. Portugal Portuguese postal addresses is similar to continental European addresses: Format

after the number is the ordinal for floor number. Usually followed by "Esq." (Left, abbr from "Esquerdo") or "Dir." (Right, abbr from "Direito"), or an apartment letter (A, B, C, etc.). PO Boxes are called Apartado, followed by a number (e.g., Apartado 1001). Qatar In Qatar, Q-Post recommends
the following format: Format Example Name of addressee P.O. Box number Name of town Country Mr. Ali Al-Matwi P.O. Box 1714 Doha Qatar Not all of Qatar's roads and buildings are numbered, Q-Post doesn't deliver to any street addresses, and no postal codes are used in Qatar.

Oktyabrskiy Borskiy r-n Nizhegorodskaya obl. 606480 RUSSIA Note: sub-region and region/oblast names are void if the city is Moscow or Saint Petersburg or if it is sub-region administrative center. Some neighbourhoods may be planned in such a way that some, or most, apartment
buildings face no named street. In this case, a number of expedients can be used. In older neighbourhoods, such as the historical center of Moscow, a "main" building may have the same number as one or more "subsidiary" buildings accessible via driveways behind the main building. They
will be addressed as, for example, ul. Lenina, d. 123 (that is, 123 Lenin St). An address may also cover one or more subsidiary buildings behind the main building, addressed as ul. Lenina, d. 123, str. 2 (123 Lenin St, Unit 2, where str. (abbreviation for строение, stroenie) means a
'(subsidiary) building'. In newer[when?] areas with more regular street plans, apartment buildings that face no named street may be designated with Cyrillic letters appended to the building number, such as 123-а, 123-б, etc., in alphabetic order. In some microraion neighbourhoods, with few,
if any, buildings facing named streets, the name (or more likely number of the microraion (planned housing development)) would be used instead of the street name; thus someone may live at 4-th microrayon, d. 123, kv. 56, that is, 123 - 4th Microraion, apt. 56. Saudi Arabia In Saudi Arabia,
the address could be written in Arabic or English in the following format:[23][24][25] Format Example Addressee Building Number + Street Name + Neighbourhood (if applicable) City + Postal code + Additional Numbers Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Mohammed Ali Al-Ahmed 8228 Imam Ali

Addressee (Name or Company) Company or Department or Landlord (if applicable) Street name + number Postal code + Town COUNTRY (if sent abroad) Jozef Vymyslený Firma s.r.o. Nezábudková 3084/25 84545 Bratislava Slovensko Postal codes are in the format "### ##" (i.e. 851 01 =
Bratislava 5). Street numbers can be written as orientation numbers (related to street) or descriptive numbers (unique within the town) or as a combination separated by a slash (descriptive/orientation). Descriptive numbers are also used within small villages that do not have named streets. If
the delivery is intended exclusively for a specific person at a company site, the address should begin with the individual's name and the company name should follow. The standard format of addresses enables anyone at the company to receive the delivery. ("How to write addresses
correctly", in Slovak, with pictures) Slovenia Slovenia uses a four-digit postal number. The first digit indicates the area: 1xxx for Ljubljana 2xxx for Maribor 3xxx for Celje 4xxx for Kranj 5xxx for Nova Gorica 6xxx for Koper 7xxx not used 8xxx for Novo Mesto 9xxx for Murska Sobota The
simpler the code, the bigger the locality: 1000 Ljubljana, 2000 Maribor (big cities); 1310 Ribnica, 9250 Gornja Radgona (mid-sized towns); 4263 Bohinjska Bela, 8262 Krška vas (smaller settlements, including villages). Some cities have more than one post office, thus having multiple
postcodes (usually in the x1xx format). For example, Ljubljana which has a "general" postcode 1000, also has additional ones, ranging from 1101 to 1133 (for some reason, however, omitting 1103 and 1105), Kamnik has 1240 and 1241, etc. Albeit they exist, it is not necessary to use them -
usually the "general" postcodes are used. Format Example Street address Company name and/orRecipient's nameStreet (road, place, etc.) + numberPostcode + Post town Cvet, d. o. o.G. Janez Novak1Slovenska cesta 64 A2,32241 Spodnji Duplek Locality address (places with

TOWN POSTCODE Mr A Smith 3a High Street Hedge End SOUTHAMPTON SO31 4NG The locality is required only where its absence would cause ambiguity, for example where a post town or postcode district includes two streets with the same name. Royal Mail specifies that post towns
should be written in block capitals. Until 1996 a postal county (or permitted abbreviation) was required after the post town, unless it was a special post town, for example London. The post town and postcode should each be on a separate line. Historically, each line of an address ended with
a comma and was indented from the previous line. Royal Mail discourage this usage and specify that all lines should start from the same point and not be staggered or aligned to the centre.[33] The postcode identifies, from left to right, increasingly smaller units of the postal delivery system.
