How to Address U.S. Mail

Address Placement

Complete addresses with telephone numbers are very important. Postal Services requests that forms be complete to be certain the material is delivered. Post Office box numbers or rural routes are unacceptable addresses for courier, messenger or specialized delivery services.

All mail needs a delivery address and must also have a return address. The following information is recommended in the sequence and position indicated for addressing:

You will get the best possible service if you:

CAPITALIZE EVERYTHING IN THE ADDRESS
Use
Use
Use
Eliminate all punctuation (except the hyphen in the ZIP + 4 Code)
Allow one inch in the bottom right corner of mail piece for barcode placement.
Make sure the delivery location appears on the line immediately above the city, state and ZIP code line. i.e.

123 W MAIN ST APT 400

P O BOX 125
