The Basics of Address Formatting

This guide will walk you through the essential components of an internationally recognized address format.

Section 1: Address Line 1

• Begin with your house or building number, followed by the street name.
• Include any apartment, flat, or unit number if applicable. (In cases where the apartment number is lengthy or a second identifier, it may be moved to Address Line 2.)

Examples of Correct Formatting:

• 123 Main Street, Apt 4A
• 456 Oak Avenue, Unit 3B

Examples of Incorrect Formatting:

• Avoid including unnecessary directional words like "Upper" or "Lower" unless they are part of the official street name.

Section 2: Address Line 2

• If you have included your apartment or unit number in Address Line 1, leave Address Line 2 blank.
• If you only provided your street address in Address Line 1, use Address Line 2 to specify your apartment or unit number (e.g., Apt 3F).

Section 3: City

• Choose your city from the drop down.
• If you can’t find your city, you can enter it manually. Enter the name of the city, town, or village without including the state or province.

Section 4: State/Province

• Choose your state or province from the drop down.
• If you are located in a region that does not utilize the concept of a "state" or "province" within its administrative divisions, you may leave the "State/Province" field on our address form blank.

Section 5: Postal Code

• Provide the correct postal or zip code for your location. If uncertain, online search engines can assist in finding the right code.

Important Tips:

• Always double-check your address for accuracy to prevent delivery errors.
• Be aware of specific address format requirements for your country or region and adhere to local postal service standards.
