How to write a Djiboutian address

Nestled right at the intersection of 3 tectonic plates sits the beautiful country of Djibouti. It is one of the few places on Earth where you can see the physical separation of the continents. This area is called the Afar Triangle and is essentially a geological laboratory.

I'm sure you're wondering how to write a Djiboutian address to get more information about this beautiful place straight from the source. Well, you've come to the right place! To learn how to write a Djibouti address, you simply need to follow the mailing format listed below. The Djibouti street address format is unique.

If you're looking for an automated solution to mailing formats, look no further! Smarty's address verification tools and APIs allow you to input an address from anywhere in the world and instantly receive the correct formatting, even for addresses in Djibouti. Using the proper Djibouti address format will ensure your mail arrives precisely when it means to.

Here's a breakdown of how to write a Djibouti address correctly:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. Building name - This goes on its own line if applicable.
  3. Street and building number - The street the address is on should be listed first, followed by the building number, not separated by pesky punctuation marks.
  4. Neighborhood or local area - The localized area the address is in.
  5. City - The city or town the address is in.
  6. Postal code - The postal code for the address.
  7. Administrative area - The general area the address is in.
  8. Country - The country code of DJI can be written on the last line.
