Dominican Republic Address Format
Addresses go from smallest unit to largest: recipient, street (calle/avenida) with house number, then the sector (neighborhood), then postal code + city on one line, then the country in capitals. Provinces are not written in the address. The postal code is frequently omitted in practice; P.O. boxes (Apartado postal) are common for business mail.
