How to address ireland mail
To address mail to Ireland, you'll need to follow these guidelines:
Format:
- Use the following format for the address:
- Recipient's Name
- House/Flat Number (if applicable)
- Street Name
- Town/City
- County (if not already included in the town/city name)
- Ireland
- Postcode (if applicable)
- Use a comma (,) to separate each line, except for the last line, which should be the country name and postcode (if applicable).
Example:
- John Doe
- 12 Main Street
- Dublin
- Dublin 2
- Ireland
Additional tips:
- Use the correct county name, as some counties have the same name as towns or cities (e.g., Dublin is both a city and a county).
- If the recipient's address includes a flat number, include it after the house number (e.g., 12 Main Street, Flat 3).
- If the recipient's address includes a postcode, include it after the town/city name (e.g., Dublin 2).
- Ireland uses the Eircode system, which is a unique postcode system. If you're sending mail to a specific address, you can use the Eircode to ensure accurate delivery. You can find the Eircode for a specific address on the Eircode website.
- If you're sending mail to a PO box, use the following format:
- Recipient's Name
- PO Box Number
- Town/City
- Ireland
International mail:
- When sending mail from outside Ireland, make sure to use the correct international postage and customs forms.
- If you're sending a package, ensure it complies with Ireland's customs regulations and restrictions.
Special considerations:
- If you're sending mail to a specific region in Ireland, such as Northern Ireland, you may need to use a different format or add additional information (e.g., "Northern Ireland" or "Belfast BT1").
- If you're sending mail to a government agency or institution, you may need to use a specific format or add additional information (e.g., "Government Buildings, Dublin 2").
By following these guidelines, you should be able to address your mail correctly and ensure it reaches its destination in Ireland.
