Addressing Standards

Addressing standards are a set of agreed-upon rules for formatting and writing addresses, ensuring consistency and accuracy in mail delivery and communication. They specify how to properly sequence and format components like street, city, state, and postal code, making it easier for postal services, businesses, and organizations to identify locations precisely. These standards help prevent confusion, reduce delivery errors, and improve efficiency across postal and digital systems worldwide. Essentially, they create a universal framework so addresses are understood clearly and reliably everywhere.
