International Address Formats

🇬🇪Georgia Address Format

Georgia (the country, not the US state) writes the street name before the number and puts a four-digit postal code before the city. The codes are recent and often skipped, which is exactly when parcels stall, and checkout forms routinely confuse the country with the US state. Here is the correct structure, a real example, the postal code rules, and the mistakes that cause returns.

The Georgia address format, field by field

A Georgia label is recipient, optional company, the street name with the number after it, then the four-digit postal code and the city on one line, then the country. Addresses are romanized from Georgian script for international carriers.

2CompanyExample LLC optional, above the street line

Postal code rules

Georgian Post uses the four-digit code to sort to a district, and every Tbilisi code begins with a leading zero. The system is relatively new and inconsistently used, so the code should be validated against the city rather than trusted blindly or assumed present.

0108

Format: 4 digits, no letters or spaces, written before the city on the same line: 0108 Tbilisi. Leading zeros are part of the code, and Tbilisi codes all begin with 0.

Validation regex: ^\d{4}$

Watch for: a stripped leading zero (108 instead of 0108), or a missing code on an address that relies on it. Both slow Georgian Post routing.

What makes Georgia different

The country-specific rules that generic autocomplete and single-line address fields tend to get wrong.

Not the US state

This is the country, not Georgia USA

Checkout systems frequently confuse the country of Georgia with the US state of the same name. On an international label, set the country to Georgia and never a US state code, or the parcel is sorted toward Atlanta instead of Tbilisi.

Leading zero

Tbilisi codes start with zero

Every Tbilisi postal code begins with a leading zero, as in 0108. A field that strips it turns a four-digit code into three digits and points to the wrong district or nowhere at all.

Number after street

The number follows the street name

Georgian addresses write the street first and the number after it, as in Rustaveli Avenue 7. Number-first Western order is read wrong, and the gamziri (avenue) or kucha (street) descriptor should be kept.

Script and codes

Romanization and optional codes

Addresses are written in Georgian (Mkhedruli) script domestically and romanized for international carriers. Because postal codes are recent, many senders omit them, so the code should be added and validated rather than assumed present.

Errors that cause failed deliveries to Georgia

Each of these passes a basic "is this field filled in" check but fails at the carrier, turning into a redelivery, a return, or an address correction fee.

✕Country set to the US state. Selecting Georgia as a US state instead of the country routes the parcel toward Atlanta, not Tbilisi.

✕Leading zero stripped. 108 instead of 0108 points to the wrong district or fails the lookup entirely.

✕Missing postal code. Because the code is optional in practice, it is often left blank, which slows Georgian Post sorting.

✕Number before the street. 7 Rustaveli instead of Rustaveli Avenue 7 is read as an unknown address.

✕Georgian and Latin script mixed. Partial Mkhedruli text in a Latin-only carrier system can be dropped or garbled in transit.

Carrier notes for Georgia

How the major carriers handle Georgia addresses, and what your label needs to satisfy each one.

Georgian Post

The national operator (Sakartvelos Posta) and last-mile partner for most inbound international mail. Routing keys off the four-digit code, so validate it and its leading zero first.

Trackings.GE & Pony Express

Domestic couriers serving Tbilisi and the regions for ecommerce parcels. They expect the full street, number, postal code and city for reliable next-day and multi-day delivery.

DHL, FedEx & UPS

International carriers for inbound shipments. Include the country line (Georgia, not the US state); they charge for address corrections when a code or city forces a manual fix.

Validate every Georgia address at checkout

Address Guard checks Georgia addresses against carrier and postal databases before the order ships, normalizes the format, and flags the errors that cause failed deliveries. 240+ countries, $0.05 per check.

Georgia address format FAQ

How do you write a Georgia (country) address?+

Recipient name, optional company, the street name followed by the building number, then the four-digit postal code and the city on one line, then GEORGIA. Set the country to Georgia, not the US state, and romanize the address from Georgian script for international carriers.

What is the Georgia postal code format?+

Four digits with no letters or spaces, for example 0108 for central Tbilisi. Tbilisi codes begin with a leading zero that must be preserved, and the code is written before the city, as in 0108 Tbilisi.

Why do parcels to Georgia get returned or delayed?+

Common causes are the country being set to the US state, a stripped leading zero, a missing postal code, or the street and number reversed. Validating the four-digit code against the city before shipping prevents most of these.
