What is how to address envelope?

When addressing an envelope, clarity and accuracy are key for ensuring your mail reaches its destination. Here's a breakdown of how to do it properly:

Recipient's Address:

  • <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Full%20Name">Full Name</a>: Start with the recipient's complete name (first name, middle initial if applicable, last name).
  • <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Street%20Address">Street Address</a>: On the next line, include the recipient's street number and name. If there is an apartment, suite, or unit number, include it after the street address, separated by "Apt," "Suite," or "Unit".
  • <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/City%2C%20State%2C%20and%20Zip%20Code">City, State, and Zip Code</a>: On the following line, write the city, followed by a comma and the two-letter abbreviation for the state, then add the zip code. Use the correct zip code, including the +4 extension if you have it.

Sender's Address (Return Address):

  • Place your return address in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope.
  • Use the same format as the recipient's address: <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Full%20Name">Your Full Name</a>, <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Street%20Address">Street Address</a>, and <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/City%2C%20State%2C%20and%20Zip%20Code">City, State, and Zip Code</a>.

Additional Tips:

  • Use dark ink (black or blue) for legibility.
  • Print clearly or type the addresses.
  • Write in all caps, especially the state abbreviation, as recommended by postal services.
  • Avoid using punctuation, except for the comma between the city and state.
  • Keep the address information aligned and easy to read.
