Singapore address format & examples

How to write a Singapore address on an envelope

Shockingly, you don’t need to know Singlish to be able to absolutely nail Singapore’s address format. Saddle up your merlion because we’ll show you a Singapore address example and walk you through the Singapore mailing address format step by step. You can look at our Singapore address examples here and try our suite of address validation tools for addresses in Singapore below. Just enter an address, and we'll format, standardize, and validate the address faster than you can slurp down a bowl of laksa.

Now, let's get into it with the basics. Singapore’s address format should be written as follows:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's name. Titles such as Mr. or Mrs. should be left off or catered to the recipient’s cultural background (English, Chinese or Mandarin dialects, Malay, Tamil/Indian, etc.)
  2. House number and street name - The house number and street name are listed in this order, without commas between them.
  3. Building - On a line by itself, include the building, if applicable.
  4. Administrative area and postal code - The administrative area, followed immediately by the postal code goes on this line without any separating punctuation.
  5. Country - "SGP", in all caps, goes on the final line.
