How to write a Polish address

Chopin might write a song about you because you have decided to learn about how to address a letter with Polish address formatting, and that’s where he’s from! Ensure that your packages and letters are delivered safely by learning how to address mail to Poland. Look at our Polish address examples here and try our suite of address validation tools for addresses in Poland below. Just enter an address, and we'll format, standardize, and validate it faster than you can say “sausages.”

Now, let's get into the basics of address formatting in Poland. The Polish address format for shipping or mailing addresses should be written as follows:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region.
  2. Street name and building number - The street name, followed by the building number go on this line. No separating punctuation is needed between the two.
  3. Postal code and city - Next, postal code and city go on a separate line without separating punctuation.
  4. Country - Write “POL” in all caps on the last line.
