Postal Address Formats when sending mail to Romania

    Hello,

    After having found your comprehensive list of address formats, I though you
    might be interested in the formats for Romania.

    Typically, the address should be formatted as follows:

    upper left corner - sender's address (formatted according to customs in the
    country of origin)
    upper right corner - reserved for stamps and franking
    lower left corner - reserved for various mentions (e.g. air mail/par avion)
    lower right corner - address of destination (typical size - 120 mm/80mm -
    roughly 4.8in/3.2in)

    The address should leave an empty margin, 15mm (0.6in) wide, on the envelope.

    The address should contain:

    Dest: <surname><family name>
    <street> <number> [<block> <entrance> <floor> <apartment>]
    <postal code> [<village>,] <town>
    <county> or <sector>
    <country>

    Examples:

    Dest: Ion Ionescu
    Str. Florilor 8, Bl. I19, Sc. 2, Et. 2, Ap. 25
    012345 Bucuresti
    Sector 1
    Romania

    Dest: Ion Ionescu
    Aleea Mirabelelor 10, Ap. 1
    012345 Bucuresti
    Sector 3
    Romania

    Dest: Ion Ionescu
    Blvd. Pacii 30, Et. 3, Ap. 6
    012345 Bucuresti,
    Sector 6,
    Romania

    Dest: Ion Ionescu
    Sos. Brasovului 214
    012345 Prejmer
    Jud. Brasov
    Romania


    Remarks:

    - the types of streets are prepended to the names (unlike in English) and they
    translate as follows:

    Abbrev  - Full       - English correspondent
    Str.    - Strada     - street
    Intr.   - Intrarea   - drive
    Aleea   - Aleea      - alley
    Blvd    - Bulevardul - boulevard
    Sos.    - Soseaua    - road
    Drumul  - Drumul     - road

    - specifiers inside a building. Typical for the large blocks of flats in the
    cities

    Bl.  - the code of the building (either a letter followed by a number,
    or just a number. E.g. I9, P45, 23).
    Sc.  - the number of the entrance (literally: scara = staircase)
    Et.  - the floor number (etaj = floor)
    Ap.  - the number of the apartment

    Either Bl. and Sc. may not be required, in case of a smaller building
    Et. and Ap. also depend on the building, but they have to appear, if either
    Bl. or Sc. were specified.

    The postal code is 6 digits long and can be checked at
    http://www.posta-romana.ro/index.jsp?page=coduri_postale&c=offices
    There is an English version of this page.

    County or Sector
    If the town was Bucharest, the sector must be provided.
    This can be written either as: Sector  (1 through 6) or Sect. 

    All other towns must specify the county. This is written as:
    Jud. 

    There are 41 counties, as follows:
    Alba, Arad, Arge?, Bac?u, Bihor, Bistri?a-N?s?ud, Boto?ani, Bra?ov, Br?ila,
    Buz?u, Cara?-Severin, C?l?ra?i, Cluj, Constan?a, Covasna, Dâmbovi?a, Dolj,
    Gala?i, Giurgiu, Gorj, Harghita, Hunedoara, Ialomi?a, Ia?i, Ilfov, Maramure?,
    Mehedin?i, Mure?, Neam?, Olt, Prahova, Satu Mare, S?laj, Sibiu, Suceava,
    Teleorman, Timi?, Tulcea, Vaslui, Vâlcea, Vrancea

    Please let me know if you needed other details or if I could explain something
    better.

    Best,
    Andrei
