Guyana address format & examples

How to write a [demonym] address

Guyana is an English-speaking country in South America, but its street address format doesn't exactly follow the patterns of the other countries that also speak English. If you want to send a letter to your Guyanese friend who speaks both English and Spanish, you'll need to know how to write a Guyanese address.

That may be trickier than you think, and you'll need to make sure you use the right Guyanese address format. Smarty is the right place to learn how. We've put together Guyana address examples for you to compare your address against and a basic outline of the mailing address format.

If you're looking for an automatic solution to Guyana’s mailing formats, look no further! Smarty's address verification tools and APIs allow you to input an address from anywhere worldwide and instantly receive the correct formatting. Here's a breakdown of how to write a Guyana 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 one is known.
  3. Building number and street - The street the address is on is preceded by the building number, not separated by anything.
  4. Neighborhood or local area - The localized area the address is in.
  5. City - The city or town the address is in.
  6. Country - Lastly, the country code of GUY.
