These terms govern your use of https://correctlyaddressed.com (the "Site"), published by Correctly Addressed. By using the Site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

What this site is

Correctly Addressed publishes free, plain-language guides on how to address envelopes and mail correctly. Every guide is checked against USPS Publication 28 and other public USPS resources — see how we check things for details. We are an independent publisher and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the United States Postal Service or any other government agency.

Not official postal guidance

The content on this Site is provided for general informational purposes only. It reflects our best understanding of USPS rules and common addressing conventions at the time each page was last checked, but postal rules, rates, and formats can change. For anything where correctness genuinely matters — international mail, legal notices, government correspondence — verify directly with USPS or the relevant authority before relying on a guide here. We make no guarantee that following a guide on this Site will result in successful delivery.
