Democratic Republic of the Congo address format & examples

Virunga (stop giggling) National Park is not only a UNESCO World Heritage site, but it's also home to some of the most rare mountain gorillas in the world! If you want to mail a cute stuffed animal to one of them, you're going to need the correct Congolese address format. And if you're wondering how to write an address for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, you've come to the right place.

The Congolese address format is pretty darn simple, which is crazy since there are over 110 million people that live there. The Congolese mailing address format typically only includes the street, building number, and the city or locality. So you can be sure that your envelope address format will fit quite nicely. Below are several address examples that you should find useful when addressing a letter to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name.
2. Street name and building number - The street name goes right before the building number.
3. City - The city the address is in goes on its own line.
4. Country - If you want to shorten the country name, it can be written as COD (not to be confused with the popular video game).
