Any address written in a non-native language will be written in French or English. Deliveries are made only to post office boxes (Boîte Postale, or BP in French).

Though postal deliveries are only to mailing addresses, street addresses will be found for the use of couriers, visitors etc. As not all streets are named, these may often be descriptive and unstructured, using directionals such as “Behind the Cinema”, “Next to the Petrol Station” and “in the vicinity of the Bank”. Examples:
