How to write a Nigerien address

The 90s and early 2000s gave a bad rap to Niger, what with all those fake princes looking to give people boatloads of cash. If you're ready to focus on the amazing parts of Niger, like the Sahara Desert and the Air Mountains, then you'll probably also want to know how to address a letter to Niger. You've come to the right place. Below you'll find several address examples that you can look at to compare your address against. Getting the right mailing address format isn't rocket science, but it can be a little tricky for addresses around the world.

Smarty is the most trusted source for high-quality location data. Just enter the address, and it’ll be returned formatted, standardized, and validated faster than you can say, "oh wow." Using the correct Nigerien address format ensures your mail reaches its destination without any hiccups. Here’s a guide on how to write Niger’s addresses:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. The street and building number - The house or building number number goes on the same line as the street but is listed second.
  3. City - The city or town goes on the next line.
  4. Country - The country code NGA wraps it all up.
