How to write a Chadian address

Chad has more than a rad name. You can find lions, giraffes, elephants, and birds in Zakouma National Park, and over at the Ennedi Plateau, you can see the world-famous sandstone formations, arches, and petroglyphs. If you're writing a letter to a Chadian, you'll need to make sure they live where there’s consistent postal services, as many of Chad's northern regions are inhabited by nomadic tribes who have adapted to the harsh Sahara desert and don’t do the whole “mail thing.”

If you're wondering how to write Chad’s addresses (the place, not your super, cool friend), you've come to the right place. We've put together several address examples so you can ensure that you have the right mailing address format on your letter, package, or parcel. If you just want to type in what you know and get the correct address format back, you can do that, too. Just check out our Chad validation tools. Using the correct Chadian address format ensures your mail reaches its destination stress-free. Here’s a guide on how to write Chad addresses:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. The street and building number - The house or building number goes right after the street.
  3. City - The city goes on this line.
  4. Country - The country code TCD.
