Guest Addressing on Envelopes (cont'd)
Street Address
All house numbers are written in numeric form except for "one," which is spelled out. Apartment, suite, and zip codes are written in numeric form. Cities, states and numbered streets (i.e. "27th Street") are written out in full (with the exception of D.C.) as: twenty-seventh Street. Avoid abbreviating common words like "Street," "Boulevard," "Avenue". The only optional abbreviations are for Saint (St.) or Mount (Mt.), which can be written either way
Other than U.S. Addresses
When mailing from the US to other countries, here is a link to check the country's guidelines on the US Postal Service website:
The last line of the address must show only the country name, written in full (no abbreviations) and in capital letters. If possible, the address should have no more than five lines.
