BFPO NUMBER

Use the BFPO number instead of the overseas town or country. GOV.UK advises that BFPO addresses should be written clearly in capital letters.

Place your order online using the correct BFPO delivery address.
Your order will be dispatched and tracked to the BFPO depot.

Important BFPO Addressing Information
