Address format Deliveries are made to P.O. Boxes. However, home deliveries are being tested for a
single building. Items are then delivered to a set of boxes on the ground floor.
For home and P.O. Box deliveries alike, the two-digit post office code must be included.
For home deliveries, the delivery office code is preceded by a 1, to show that it is a
home delivery. The code 104 therefore indicates a home delivery made by post office 04.

- Line 6, postcode and locality.
- Line 7, name of the destination country.
The words "SAINT" and "SAINTE" on line 5 and 6 (locality) are abbreviated "ST" and "STE"
(e.g. SAINT AGNANT is written ST AGNANT).
The name of the town in the address may be followed by the word CEDEX (Courrier
d’Entreprise à Distribution EXceptionnelle – special business mail). CEDEX mail benefits from
special delivery services. Never delete CEDEX from an address: your item will no longer
benefit from the special CEDEX handling.
In certain cases, the word CEDEX is followed by a one or two-digit number. This is the case
for cities with a several delivery centres or the postal districts of Paris, Lyon or Marseille.

Administrative Indonesian addresses use four levels of localities. The localities and sub-localities used
divisions the addresses refer in majority of cases to the adminstrative divisions of the country as
follows:
Admin level English Indonesian
Not used in address 1 Province Provinsi
Locality 2 City/Regency Kabupaten/Kota
Sub-locality (sub-loc) 3 District Kecamatan
Sub-locality (sub-loc 2) 4 Village Desa/Kelurahan
Rukun Tetengga /
Sub-locality (sub-loc 3) 5 RT/RW
Rukun Warga
Jakarta is a special case of a locality because it is an adminstrative division of level 1
called Province (Provinsi).
The acronym RT/RW stands for Rukun Tetengga / Rukun Warga. In address only ‘RT’
followed with two numbers separated with slash (ex. RT 01/001) is used. This is to
identify areas of neighborhood groups/citizen groups that do not have administrative
power but were created to support administrative functions of sub-districts.

Address format In Japan, the address is generally written on a single line, beginning with the largest
geographical area and ending with the smallest one. Also, street names are not used in
the addresses. In the Roman alphabet, this would be transcribed as follows:
JAPAN 112–0001 TOKYO Bunkyo–Ku Hakusan 4–Chome 3–2
However, automatic sorting equipment used by the Japanese Post is only able to sort
items on which the address is in kanji, hiragana or katakana characters. Items whose
address is in Roman script are sorted manually. Addresses may therefore also be laid
out as they are in the West, from the smallest geographical area at the top to the
largest at the bottom:
4-3-2, Hakusan
Bunkyo-ku, TOKYO
112-0001
JAPAN
The largest geographical subdivision is the prefecture: there are 47 in Japan.
Prefecture names end in –ken, except for Tokyo–to, Kyoto–fu, Osaka–fu and Hokkaido.
Prefectures are divided into large towns (–shi) and rural areas (–gun). These large towns
and rural areas are themselves divided into –machi, –cho or –son (villages, only in rural
areas). In very large cities there may be a additional subdivision (–ku) between –shi and
–machi/–cho.
–machi and –cho are divided into zones (–chome), which are themselves divided into
blocks (–ban), which are in turn divided into houses (–go). Houses are therefore not
numbered sequentially along a street, but rather within a block. There may be several
houses with the same number within a block, in which case an apartment number
should be added to identify the correct building.
Japan (cont.)
Address format Most businesses operating internationally are called corporations or Kaisha in
(cont.) Japanese, and most often Kabushiki Kaisha, shortened to K.K. The name of a company
will often be translated partially or fully. So, for example, Aoba Trading Co. Ltd is the
same company as Aoba Boeki K.K. and Electric Power Development Co. Ltd will
certainly be a translation rather than the legal name of the company in question.
Large buildings generally have names ending in the suffix –biru, but Building or Bldg is
frequently used.
Examples Rural zone:

Mr Taro Tanaka
2338 Shiokawa
Maruko-machi
Chisagata-gun, NAGANO
386–401 JAPAN
(2338 is the building number)
In towns:
The address generally contains all the successive subdivisions of a zone, including the
prefecture:
Mr Taro Tanaka
10–23, Mitsugi 1–chome
Musashi-Murayama-shi, TOKYO
208–0032 JAPAN
The prefecture may be omitted in the following two cases: when it is one of the
12 principal cities of the country (Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Kawasaki, Kitakyushu, Kobe,
Kyoto, Nagoya, Osaka, Sapporo, Sendai, Tokyo, Yokohama):
Mr Taro Tanaka
2–17–10, Aicicho
Naka-ku, YOKOHAMA
231–0012 JAPAN
(2–17–10 means 2–chome 17–ban 10–go; the order is important; this could also be
written 17–10 2–chome; in some cases, an apartment number needs to be added,
which would give us 2–17–10–153 or 17–10–153 2–chome);
and when the name of the prefecture and that of the city are the same:
Mr Taro Tanaka
10–23, Kotobukicho
NIIGATA
951-8073 JAPAN
(10–23 means 10–ban 23–go; the order is important)

Overview The present land lot address system is in use in parallel to the new street address
system having been introduced since 2009. The stabilization of the new street
addressing system will be on-going until 2014.
Note: Both land lot and street based systems use the same postcodes.
Administrative A typical address in Korea is described by the administrative units in which it lies
divisions and Korean administrative units are identified by suffixes. The following table
describes suffixes of administrative units of various levels and their relation to
address elements used in explanations of address examples:
Address elements Korean Suffixes

province -do, -si
sub-province (sub-prv) -gun, -si , -gu
sub-province 2 (sub-prv 2) -eup, -myeon, -dong
locality -ri
Note that the suffixes “-ri” and “-dong” are used in reference to a locality and sub-
province level 2 in the land lot addresses and they are not used in the new street
name addresses.
Moreover the term “-dong” in the new street addresses is not used in reference to a
locality but to a building within a complex of buildings.
Address formats For inbound cross border mail, Korea Post prefers to have addresses written in
Korean. It also recommends adding "SEOUL" before the postcode irrespective to the
final destination in the country. This measure is designed to avoid mail addressed to
the Republic of Korea being sent to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. If the
address includes the correct postcode, adding "SEOUL" does not cause any problem
because sorting is done on the basis of the postcode.
Complex of buildings are common for both street name based and land lot based
address systems. Addresses within a complex of buildings shall identify individual
buildings by numbers suffixed with “-dong” and door numbers suffixed with “–ho”.
For example: “101-dong 103-ho”. This form is preferred over the abbreviated one:
“101-103”. The first digit of “–ho” number (or first two digits when the “–ho” number
is four digits long) indicates the floor on which apartment is located. When an
address is located underground the “–ho” number will be prefixed with letter „B‟ for
basement (sometimes the word „Jiha‟ is used instead of „B‟).
Korea (Rep.) (cont.)
Land lot address system
Land lot numbers can be registered either in the books of flat land or in the book of
mountainous areas. Land lot numbers registered in the book of mountainous areas are
used in addresses with prefix „san‟ (Korean “산” meaning a mountain).

Address format Advice on correct formatting of addresses:

- The address starts with the most specific information (name or company name)
and ends with the most general (country of destination);
- Each line should contain a maximum of 40 characters, including spaces;
- It is recommended no punctuation be used unless it is part of a proper name.
Locality names and the name of the country in each address must be printed in upper
case. Postal codes must also be printed in uppercase with the first three characters
separated from the last four by one space.
Personal postcodes covering a particular area are also in use in Malta. These codes
may not follow the same format.

Address Postcodes are mandatory for use by bulk mailers.

format
A distinction should be drawn between four address types according to the type of delivery:
– urban delivery;
– delivery to PO Box;
– delivery to private bag;
– rural deliveries.
For certain districts/suburbs, there is a private bag service. A charge is levied for this service,
which enables large customers to receive all their mail in a separate delivery, generally by
courier.
To benefit from reduced rates, items must meet the following criteria:
– addresses must be machine-printed, with a uniform left-hand margin;
– handwriting is not acceptable;
– uppercase letters are required on the first letter of each word;
– either upper or lower case letters may be used elsewhere in the address;
– underlining is not acceptable;
– the addressee must appear above the actual address;
– the address must contain one of the following: street (must include house number), PO
Box , Private Bag number or rural delivery number and road name;
– province names, regions and nearby cities must not be used;
– for items addressed to PO Boxes, there must be no space between P and O;
– there must be no spaces or punctuation within PO Box or Private Bag number;
– in rural delivery addresses, there must be no space between R and D and one space
after D;
– the “RD” construct must be on the line below the “street” construct and must not
include the words “Rural Delivery”, “Route”, “Number” or “No”;
– there must be 1-2 spaces between town/city name and postcode;
– all items must have a return address.

Address format The last line (above the country name) always contains the postcode. The second last
line contains locality or office name. The third last line contains the postal delivery
point.
The last three lines (above the country name) are formatted according to three standard
address types.
• Type 1: Physical addresses: The postcode identifies the delivery locality. The name
of this locality is in the line above the postcode. Above this line is the delivery point
number + street name or section. Physical addresses in areas without street
names are informal area addresses.
• Type 2: Rural addresses: The postcode identifies the delivery Post Office. The name
of this Post Office is in the line above the postcode. Above this line is the delivery
point number + village name. A five- or six digit number identifies the delivery
point in the village.
• Type 3: Postal delivery service addresses: The postcode identifies the Post Office.
The name of this Post Office is on the line above the postcode. Above this line is the
delivery point (PO Box or Private Bag) number.
The second last line (locality or post office) should be in upper case. The locality / post
office and correct postcode fully identify the postal delivery area or office. Province
name and city name can be in the address only if there is no postcode.
Variation of standard types: where the address is one of many addresses within the
postal delivery point, this is a complex address. These internal delivery details, also any
supplementary routing information, must be above the line containing the postal
delivery point.
The address must not contain any punctuation marks.

Address format Three levels of administrative divisions are required in the Thai address:
 Level 1, provinces. The name of each province is the same as the name of its
capital city (“mueang”). Though a different administrative unit, Bangkok is at
province level.
 Level 2, districts (“amphoe”) and Bangkok districts (“khet”).
 Level 3, sub-districts (“tambon” or “khwaeng” in Bangkok).
*In rural areas, the 4th level of administrative division (“moo”) is also needed. It is usually
translated as village, though it doesn’t necessarily cover one single settlement.
Administrative divisions names (amphoe, district etc…) are not mandatory in the address
lines and are used either in english or in Thai.

The address is made up of the following lines:
[Additional recipient information] optional line
