Postal Addressing Standard for Government

Skip navigation

You are here: Homepage > Mail Advice > Postal Addressing Standard for Government

General Information:

Every piece of mail passing through the Postal Service for the Government Administration Building MUST HAVE:

  1. 3-digit Box # -- corresponds to the assigned mail box number.
  2. Unique postcode KY1-9000

By design, unique postcodes do not require P. O. Box numbers. As such, the P. O. reference has been dropped for the building and only Box used.

Please ensure your official stationary, return addresses, business cards and electronic signature cards also reflect the key postal information.

Address Block Standard:

Line 1: Addressees Name &/or Position 1
Line 2: Entity Name 1
Line 3: Govt. Admin Bldg. Box (3-digit number) 2
Line 4: Street Address - 133 Elgin Avenue
Line 5: Island & Unique Postcode - Grand Cayman KY1-9000 2
Line 6: Country (CAPS) - CAYMAN ISLANDS 2

1. The information in these upper lines of the Address Block is at the Senders discretion and is flexible, as are the number of lines needed for this information.
2. The placement of this information in the Address Block is fixed for postal operational purposes. Use of CAYMAN ISLANDS is not necessary for domestic mail, but required for foreign mail.
