Pakistan address format & examples

How to write a Pakistani address

Pakistan visitors love to see the second-highest mountain in the world: K2. This "savage mountain" stands at 8,611 meters high and is a part of the Karakoram range in northern Pakistan. When you're not climbing the mountain, you'll be surprised to learn that over 70 different languages are spoken across the country! English is widely used, and you can send a letter to Pakistan quite easily. But, how can you address a letter to Pakistan? Simple! We've supplied you with a Pakistani address example, and we have some pretty nifty tools to help validate any address in the world.

Smarty is the best source for professional-grade location data. Simply enter any Pakistani address, and get it back formatted, standardized, and validated faster than you can say "Khuda Hafiz." Address formatting in Pakistan can be written out as follows:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using the appropriate titles for the country.
  2. Street and building number - List one after the other without any separating punctuation and in this specific order.
  3. Neighborhood or area - The neighborhood the street address is located in.
  4. City and postal code - The city or town gets listed with the postal code in this order and are separated by a hyphen between them.
  5. Country - This is often shortened to PAK.
