  2. Street and building number - List one after the other and feel free to leave out any pesky punctuation like commas or hyphens.
  3. Neighborhood - The neighborhood the address is in gets this line all to itself.
  4. Postal code and city - he postal code and the city the address is in go here.
  5. Country - This is shortened to “PRY” and written in all capital letters.
