From the grandeur of the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque to the serene waters of Kampong Ayer (the famous water village), Brunei is a small but majestic nation filled with charm. Whether you're sending a letter to someone in the capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan or shipping a package to the lush Temburong District, knowing the correct Brunei address format is crucial. We’ve compiled all the tools and tips you need, along with a Bruneian address example, to ensure your mail reaches its destination in this peaceful kingdom.

Wondering how to write a Brunei address properly? Look no further! Below, you’ll find the best practices for the Brunei address format and a Bruneian address example to make sure your mail doesn’t take an unintended detour through the rainforests. Whether you’re sending a postcard from the Royal Regalia Museum or shipping a gift, the correct mail format is key to smooth delivery.

Smarty is your reliable source for professional-grade location data. Enter the address, and we’ll return it formatted, standardized, and validated faster than you can say "Darussalam" (the Arabic term for "Abode of Peace," often used to refer to Brunei). Using the right Brunei address format ensures that your letter or package arrives safely without confusion. Here's a mail format for how to write Brunei addresses:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. Sub-building number - This goes on its own line.
  3. Building - The building number goes below the unit number.
  4. Unit and street - The unit number goes on the same line as the street with no separating punctuation.
  5. City and postal code - The city is followed by the alphanumerical postal code.
  6. Country - This is often shortened to BRN.
