How to read this format

An address format in São Tomé and Príncipe typically includes the recipient’s name, street address, locality, region, and (when available) a postal code. The ordering can differ by region, but the goal is the same: clear identification of the delivery location. In practice, the street line carries the most weight, while details like apartment, floor, or landmark may appear on an extra line. The examples below show how addresses are commonly written and what information is treated as standard for mail delivery. Local spelling and diacritics are often preserved, and the line order is designed to help postal services route items efficiently. When a postal code exists, it is typically placed near the city or region line.

Below you will find real examples and the exact format used.
