  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. Street and building number - Street names are listed first, followed by the building number without separating punctuation.
  3. Region, City, and postal code - List the six-digit postal code and the city, with a comma between them.
  4. Country - This is often shortened to KAZ.
