When writing your address for international mail, it's essential to include the following information:

  1. Your name: Write your full name as it appears on your passport or identification.
  2. Street address: Include your street address, including the house number, street name, and apartment or suite number (if applicable).
  3. City: Write the city where you live, including any relevant postal codes or zip codes.
