International Address Formatting

International requirements do not allow for more than 5 lines and include:

  1. Addressee’s Name
  2. Street address or P.O. Box Number
  3. City or Town, principal subdivision such as province, state or county and postal code. In some countries, the postal code may precede the city or town.
  4. See #3
  5. Country Name

To avoid delays and possible rejection, we recommend you use a postal code.

Recipient’s Address or PO Box
Ottawa Ontario K5A 081
