Addressing Envelopes in Nigeria: Correct Format and Tips

Standard Nigerian envelope format:

Recipient Name
House/Flat Number, Street Name
City, State
Nigeria
Postal Code

Guidelines:

• Full legal name (individual or company).
• Clear, legible handwriting or print.
• House/flat and street on separate lines.
• City, state, country on separate lines.
• Correct 6-digit postal code (e.g., 100001 for Lagos Mainland).
• Avoid commas/periods in address lines.

Example:

Mr. John Doe
123 Main Street
Lagos, Lagos State
Nigeria
100001

NIPOST recommends uppercase for city/state. Include phone number for courier deliveries.
