Section 1: Address Line 1

Begin with your house or building number, followed by the street name. Include any apartment, flat, or unit number if applicable. (In cases where the apartment number is lengthy or a second identifier, it may be moved to Address Line 2.)

Examples of Correct Formatting:

123 Main Street, Apt 4A
456 Oak Avenue, Unit 3B

Examples of Incorrect Formatting:

Avoid including unnecessary directional words like "Upper" or "Lower" unless they are part of the official street name.

Section 2: Address Line 2

If you have included your apartment or unit number in Address Line 1, leave Address Line 2 blank. If you only provided your street address in Address Line 1, use Address Line 2 to specify your apartment or unit number (e.g., Apt 3F).

Section 3: City

Choose your city from the drop down. If you can’t find your city, you can enter it manually. Enter the name of the city, town, or village without including the state or province.

Section 4: State/Province

Choose your state or province from the drop down. If you are located in a region that does not utilize the concept of a "state" or "province" within its administrative divisions, you may leave the "State/Province" field on our address form blank.

Section 5: Postal Code

Provide the correct postal or zip code for your location. If uncertain, online search engines can assist in finding the right code.

Important Tips: Always double-check your address for accuracy to prevent delivery errors. Be aware of specific address format requirements for your country or region and adhere to local postal service standards.
