Djibouti Address Format
Addresses follow the French convention (small-to-large): recipient, street or BP box line, city, then the country in capitals. Because there are no postal codes, most mail uses a Boîte Postale (BP nnn) line that replaces the street line. Limited public documentation beyond UPU guidance.
