Angola Address Format
Angolan addresses follow the Portuguese convention: recipient, street name with house number after it (Rua X, nº Y), then city and country. There is no postal code; a P.O. Box (Caixa Postal) line is very common because door-to-door delivery is unreliable outside central Luanda. Province names are generally not written.
