How to Address Mail
A properly addressed mail item should include each of the following:
- Return Address
Print or type your address in the upper left corner of the front of the envelope. - Postage
Use a stamp, postage meter, or PC Postage to affix the correct amount. - Delivery Address
Print clearly the delivery address parallel to the longest side of the package. Do not use commas or periods. - City, State, and Zip Code
To find the correct spelling or a Zip Code, use the USPS Zip Code Lookup Webpage.
