Togo address format & examples

How to write a Togolese address

Whether you're sending a postcard to a friend exploring the voodoo markets or mailing a package to someone hiking the Atakora Mountains, understanding the correct Togo address format is key. Wondering how to write a Togolese address? No worries! Below is the correct Togo address format and a Togolese address example to help guide your letter safely to its recipient. Whether you're sending mail to the vibrant markets of Lomé or a peaceful town like Sokodé, knowing the right mailing format will keep your mail from wandering off to do its own sightseeing along the coastline. And rest assured, your letter will reach its final stop without joining in a traditional Togolese dance on the way!

Smarty is your trusted resource for professional-grade location data. Enter any Togolese address, and we'll get it formatted, standardized, and validated faster than you can taste some Fufu and sauce (a delicious Togolese dish). Using the proper Togo address format ensures that your mail doesn’t take a nap on a palm-lined beach. Here’s how to stay on track with the right mailing format:

  1. Addressee line - The recipient’s full name, including any appropriate titles (King of Fufu? Voodoo Market Guru?).
  2. Street name and building number - List the street first, followed by the building number—keep it simple; no fancy commas needed!
  3. City or town - Write the city on its own line, loud and proud.
  4. Country - Written as Togo, or simply TGO.
