Senegal Address Format

Senegalese addresses follow the French convention: recipient, then street, then postal code and city on one line, then the country in international mail. P.O. Boxes (BP, Boîte Postale) are widely used because street delivery coverage is limited; a BP number is written on its own line before the postal code + city line. Regions are not written in addresses.

Monsieur Amadou Diop 12, Avenue Cheikh Anta Diop 12500 Dakar Senegal
