Turkmenistan Address Format
Turkmen addresses follow the post-Soviet convention: recipient, street with house number, then the 6-digit postal code placed before the city name, then the country. The region (velayat) is normally omitted because the postal code encodes it, though it is sometimes added for smaller towns. Limited public documentation: Turkmen Post publishes little addressing guidance online.
