Mailing format usa
The standard mailing format in the United States is as follows:
Address Format:
- Name (optional)
- Street Address (including apartment or suite number, if applicable)
- City
- State (abbreviated using the two-letter postal abbreviation, e.g. "CA" for California)
- Zip Code (five digits, including the hyphen, e.g. "94105")
Example:
John Doe 123 Main Street, Apt 101 San Francisco, CA 94105
Additional Tips:
- Use a clear and legible font, such as Arial or Helvetica, in size 10 or 11 points.
- Use a consistent spacing between lines, with about 1/2 inch (1 cm) between each line.
- Use a standard font for the street address, city, state, and zip code.
- Avoid using abbreviations for street names, unless they are commonly used (e.g. "St" for Street, "Ave" for Avenue).
- Use a comma to separate the city and state, and a space to separate the state and zip code.
- Make sure to include the correct zip code, as it is used to route the mail.
Special Cases:
- PO Boxes: Use the PO Box number as the street address, and include the city, state, and zip code.
- Rural Routes: Use the rural route number as the street address, and include the city, state, and zip code.
- Military Addresses: Use the military address format, which includes the recipient's name, unit number, and APO/FPO code.
International Addresses:
- Country Name: Include the full country name, rather than an abbreviation.
- Postal Code: Use the international postal code format, which includes the country code, postal code, and any additional codes required by the country.
- Additional Information: Include any additional information required by the country, such as a province or region.
Example International Address:
John Doe 123 Main Street San Francisco, CA 94105 United States 94105-1234
Note: The above format is a general guideline, and specific requirements may vary depending on the country or region. It's always a good idea to check with the postal service or the recipient for specific address requirements.
