Spanish Postal Addresses

[Paul Hartrup]

Hi, Can someone tell me what "S/N" or "SN" means in a Spanish address? It
always comes after the street name. Some addresses have a number and then
others have SN.

Thanks Paul

Ive never seen it, but it is pretty easy to guess.
SN means sin numero, that is, without number.
Normally if the address doesnt have a number, you just leave it like that,
but you dont add SN.

Hello Paul,

I think it means "without number" (house number) as in Portuguese.

In Mexico it is somewhat common to use SN. I suppose it indicates to one that
the address is complete without a number. Otherwise one might hesitate mailing
something if it was thought that the address might need a number.

Also Domicilio Conocido is very common in small towns.

I thought it might be something like that, but didn't no what it stood for.

Thanks, Paul

No you don't, and yes you do: the street could be six miles long, and all the
buildings except one or two could have numbers. If you want the postman to
feel motivated to deliver your mail, at least narrow his choice for him!

(Before I get flamed, I *have* lived myself in a flat in Madrid that did not
have a number whereas other buildings put up later *did* have them. The City
resolved the problem eventually by giving my part of the street a different name.)

I've lived in Spain for nearly 28 years and I'm still not really sure what S/N means, because today I received an email from a well known Spanish delivery company with this as my address: CL LA BOQUERA 39, S/N, LA ROMANA

There's no comma after the street name so the number has been absorbed into the street.
That then leaves no field with the number in it, hence sin número.
