Ukraine 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 Examples

Example with addressee in a town or city:

    Ivan Kottovich Kuluchovskiy        recipient (given name first in this example, but family name can also be first)
    ul. Astronomicheskaya 22, kv. 33   'ul.'(=street) + house number, 'kv.'(=apt.) + apartment number
    Kharkov                            town/city/locality
    12345                              postal code
    UKRAINE                            country name
   

Some variations on this format are also used. For example,

• Some abbreviations may sometimes be left out.
• We have seen the postal code either below the town/city, or on the same line before or after the town/city.

      Ivan Kottovich Kuluchovskiy        recipient (given name first in this example, but family name can also be first)
