The delivery address should appear in all uppercase letters. The name of the place of destination and the name of the country of destination must appear in capital letters together with the correct post code number or delivery zone number, if any. The last line of the address must show only the country name, written in full (no abbreviations) and in capital letters. If possible, the address should have no more than five lines.
