Oman Mailing Address Formats and Other International Mailing Information

When mailing an envelope or postcard, leave at least the bottom 16 millimeters (5/8 inch) blank on both front and back. (The postal service's reading and sorting machines might need this space to print bar codes on your mail.)

Address Format Information

• If you are sending international mail to an address in Oman, the destination will almost certainly be a post office box.
• Acceptable terms for 'post office box' in an address include "BP", "P.O.Box", "P.Box".
• In theory, lines in an address are usually/preferably right-aligned (Each line's right edge is even with the other lines.)
  However, that would seem more applicable to addresses in Arabic rather than in Roman letters (such as English, French, etc.)
