  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. Building - The name of the building on the land parcel attached to the address.
  3. City area or neighborhood - This is the general location of the address.
  4. Street - The street name goes on this line.
  5. Building number - The building number also gets a special line. Yay!
  6. City - The city or township goes here.
  7. Postal code - The postal code of the area the address is in.
  8. Country - Lastly, the country code of IRN.
