Liberia Address Format

What is the Postal code format in Liberia?

The format is NNNN (N = digit, A = letter), for example 1000. 4-digit codes introduced by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. The code is written before the city name, with a 2-digit postal zone after the city (e.g. 1000 MONROVIA 10). Only Monrovia's 1000 is widely documented and in practice it is used as a generic code nationwide; most mail goes to P.O. Boxes. Limited public documentation for codes outside Monrovia.

How do you write an address in Liberia?

Liberia addresses are written from the smallest unit to the largest. Liberian addresses follow the American-influenced small-to-large style: recipient, street (or P.O. Box), then the 4-digit postal code before the city name in capitals with a 2-digit postal zone appended (e.g. 1000 MONROVIA 10), then the country. Counties are not written in addresses. Street numbering is sparse in practice and P.O. Box delivery dominates; box numbers often embed the zone (e.g. P.O. Box 10-9020).
