How an address is written in Nicaragua

This is the order Nicaragua's postal service expects. Square brackets mark what you replace.

[Recipient name]
[Street address]
[Postal code (52000)]
[City], [Department]
NICARAGUA

A postal code is optional in Nicaragua addresses — mail is deliverable without one, though including it speeds up sorting.

Look up a specific address

For the code covering one particular street or building, Nicaragua's postal service publishes an official finder: www.correos.gob.ni/codigo-postal. It is authoritative and kept current, which third-party copies often are not.
