How do you address a letter with a PO Box and street address?

Write the recipient’s name, then the words “PO Box” followed by the P.O. box number you were given. On the third line, use the street address. This will allow the post office and the mail carrier to deliver the item as quickly as possible.

Do PO boxes also have street addresses?

PO Boxes will only come with a Box number. You can however use a mailbox from the UPS Store, and use that street address as your legal address.

What is the correct way to write a PO Box address?

Post office box addresses always begin with the words “PO Box” followed by the individual box number, usually a 2-5 digit number. The US Postal Service requests that senders leave out all punctuation when filling in PO Box addresses. For instance, write “PO Box,” not “P.O. Box.”

How can I get a P.O. Box without an address?

If the Postal Service does not deliver to your home address, you may be eligible for a Free Group E PO Box. If this is the case, you should not apply for a PO Box online, and should visit your local Post Office to complete your application.

Can I use a post office as my address?

In general, a post office box can be used instead of a street address when establishing a place for people to send mail, but not when someone needs to identify himself to the government. They have to identify each employee by name, social security number, and address in order to make those payments.

How do you format a US postal address?

The address you are mailing to should be written as follows:

  1. Recipient’s name.
  2. Business’s name (if applicable)
  3. Street address (with apartment or suite number)
  4. City, State and ZIP code (on the same line)*
  5. Country*

Can your mailing address be different than your physical address?

It’s possible for a mailing address to be the same as a real street address if a business is happy for mail to be sent directly to its physical address – which is usually what a street address refers to. However, the mailing address and street address can also be different.
