Austria can top this, there are towns without street names, so the shortest address you could have for example would be (in this example the number is 0, to not post a real address here)
5222 Ach 0
(Which translates to the town of Ach in the ZIP code 5222, and house number 0)
If you write it like this it may be even an international valid address (for some countries)
A-5222 Ach 0
- Symbiote 4y agoBritain is still smaller if we can choose an arbitrary address. S1 1AA There will be hundreds of complete addresses with this pattern, and many thousands if we add a house number before it. This is the first I found that is valid. It's the central post office in Sheffield.
- andix 4y agoIs that a ZIP code that maps to one specific building, or is it really a valid post address, matching any valid speicification, rules and laws? In Austria we also have Buildings that have a 4-digit ZIP code. But it's not a valid address, because a valid address needs a city, street and house number. "5222 Ach 0" has it all ;)
- Symbiote 4y agoIt is a post code for a specific building/business, and it is therefore also a valid address. It will work. However, it is not the recommended address, which is: Royal Mail Sheffield Delivery Office Pond Street Sheffield S1 1AA For large businesses to get discounted posting rates they must use the recommended address, presumably the redundancy makes for more reliable OCR and less effort for the postman at the point of delivery. It's fairly common to use the abbreviated addresses when handwriting a return address.
