Cuba address format & examples

How to write a Cuban address

If you love classic cars (a la Jay Leno), then Cuba is the place to go. Thanks to the US trade embargo of the 1960s, Cuba has become famous for its streets filled with wonderfully restored classic American cars. Some of the car shows are exclusive, and you'll need to mail in your application to participate. For that, you'll need to know how to write a Cuban address.

Knowing how to write a Cuban address will be helpful in more ways than just classic car shows. Writing down the correct mailing address format ensures that anything you ship gets to where it needs to go. You can't assume that the mailing format is exactly the same as the one you're familiar with, so we've put together several Cuban address examples and a detailed breakdown of the Cuban mailing address format.

  1. Addressee line – The recipient’s full name.
  2. Street name and building number – The street name (which often includes numbers) comes first on this line, followed by the building number (which may include both letters and numbers).
  3. The city or town - The city or town that the address is in.
  4. Country – Don't forget the country, which can be shortened to CUB.
