Addressing formats
The street number follows the street name, with no separating punctuation.
Towns beginning with the letter IJ (considered one letter in the Dutch alphabet), are alphabetised under the Greek Y. When the IJ together begin a word (place or street name, etc), both letters should be capitalised (IJsselstein and not Ijsselstein).
Family names containing 'van', 'van der', 'de', or 'ter' are not capitalised when the entire name is written, but is capitalised in the salutation. Example: Willem van den Bosch, but Dear Mr. Van den Bosch.
P.O. Box in Dutch is Postbus, Street = Straat
Place at least two spaces (up to a maximum of five spaces) between the postcode and post town/city.
