How to write a recipient address?

When writing a recipient address, follow these guidelines:

1. Start with the recipient's name or the name of the organization.
2. Write the street address on the next line, including any apartment or suite numbers.
3. Write the city, state, and ZIP code on the following line.
4. If sending mail internationally, include the country name in all capital letters on the last line.

Here is an example of how to write a recipient address:

John Smith
123 Main Street, Apt 4
Anytown, USA 12345
COUNTRY NAME (if applicable)

Step 1: Write the Recipient's Name

- Write the full name of the person or organization receiving the mail.
- Include any titles or designations (e.g., Mr., Ms., Dr.).
- Do not use abbreviations or nicknames.

Step 2: Write the Street Address

- Start with the street number, followed by the street name.
- Include any apartment or suite numbers on separate lines.
- Abbreviate street types (e.g., St. for Street, Ave. for Avenue).

Step 3: Write the City, State, and ZIP Code

- Write the city name in all uppercase letters.
- Abbreviate the state name using the two-letter postal code (e.g., CA for California).
- Write the full ZIP code, including dashes (if applicable).

Step 4: Write the Country (If Outside the US)

- If the recipient's address is in a country other than the United States, write the country's name on a separate line below the ZIP code.
- Use the English name of the country, or translate it into the language of the recipient's country.

Example Recipient Address:

```
Dr. Jane Doe
123 Main Street
Apt. 2B
SPRINGFIELD, CA 94102
UNITED STATES
```

Additional Tips:

- Use a dark, legible ink or typeface.
- Write clearly and legibly.
- Keep all lines aligned.
- If you are handwriting the address, print all letters and numbers in block capitals.
- Use commas only to separate city and state, and state and ZIP code.
- Check the address carefully for any errors before mailing.
