Envelope mail address format

The standard format for an envelope mail address is as follows:

Recipient's Name Street Address or PO Box City, State ZIP Code

Here's a breakdown of each component:

1. Recipient's Name: The name of the person or organization receiving the mail.
2. Street Address or PO Box: The physical address or post office box number where the mail will be delivered.
   • If the recipient has a street address, include the house number, street name, and any additional information (e.g., apartment number, suite number).
   • If the recipient has a PO Box, include the PO Box number only.
3. City: The city where the recipient is located.
4. State: The two-letter abbreviation for the state where the recipient is located (e.g., CA for California).
5. ZIP Code: The five-digit postal code for the recipient's location.

Example:

John Doe 123 Main Street Anytown, CA 12345

Tips:

• Use a clear and legible handwriting style to ensure the address is easily readable.
• Double-check the spelling of the recipient's name and address to avoid errors.
• Use a zip code lookup tool if you're unsure of the correct zip code.
• For international mail, include the country name and postal code in the format: City, State, Country ZIP Code (e.g., Paris, France 75001).

Remember to always check with the recipient or the postal service if you're unsure about the correct format or any specific requirements for the address.
