Sending to Poland from abroad

Write the address exactly as it is used locally, then add the country name in capital English letters on the last line.

Tips and common mistakes

• Apartments follow a slash: ul. Długa 5/12.
• Always include the hyphen in the postcode.
• ul. means ulica (street); al. is aleja (avenue).
• Names ending in -ski change to -ska for women.

Test data for Poland

There is no widely reserved fictional phone range here, so the generator leaves phone numbers out. Generated addresses use real towns and postcode areas with invented streets and names, so they are safe for form testing, mockups and documentation.
