PO Boxes:

• PO boxes are available in most cities and towns in Alaska. You can use a PO box as your mailing address, and mail will be delivered to the post office for pickup.

Rural Addresses:

• In rural areas, addresses may be designated by a combination of a route number, a milepost, and a direction (e.g., "Route 1, Mile 12, East"). These addresses are often used in conjunction with a PO box or a general delivery address.

Remember to always use the correct ZIP code and city or borough name when mailing to Alaska.
