Papua New Guinea Address Format

On the last line the locality (often in capitals) is followed by the 3-digit postal code and then the province name. Many addresses use a P.O. Box instead of a street address because door-to-door delivery is limited. Limited public documentation for street-level addressing; Post PNG's official list is post-office based.
