How to Address U.S. Mail and Packages

U.S. mailing addresses consist of multiple lines:

Example showing an addressed envelope

#1 Return address
Print or type your address in the upper left corner on the front of the envelope.

#2 Extra Services
Place labels for extra services above the delivery address and to the right of the return address, or to the left of the postage.

#3 Postage
Use stamps, a postage meter, or a PC Postage system to affix the correct amount. You can calculate positive online at pe.usps.com

#4 Recipient Name

#5 Name of Organization

#6 Street Address
Use a Post Office box or street address, but not both. If the address also has a directional (for instance, NW for Northwest), be sure to use it. There may be more than one Main Street.

#7 Apartment or Suite Number
The correct apartment or suite number helps to ensure delivery to the right location.

#8 City, State and Zip Code

  • find the correct spelling of a city name (from USPS or call 1-800-ASK-USPS)
  • find the correct ZIP Code, using the correct Zip Code helps to direct your mail more efficiently and accurately

How to Address International Mail

The bottom line of a foreign address should show only the country name, written in full. Do not place postal codes of foreign country designations on the last line of the address.

Here's an example of international addressing. Mail going to Canada can follow either of these formats when the address delivery zone is included in the address.

Ms. Helen Saunders
1010 Clear Street
Ottawa ON K1A
CANADA
Ms Helen Saunders
1010 Clear Street
Ottawa ON CANADA
K1A 0B1

Remember to use these standard two character abbreviations for provinces and territories in CANADA.

Province/Territorie Postal Service Abbreviation
Alberta AB
British Columbia BC
Manitoba MB
New Brunswick NB
Newfoundland NF
Northwest Territories NT
Nova Scotia NS
Ontario ON
Prince Edward Island PE
Quebec PQ
Saskatchewan SK
Yukon Territory YT

 

Campus Mail - Did you know, all students, staff, and faculty can send each other mail on campus without postage?

Campus mail is for the use of UVM departments, its affiliated organizations, clubs, faculty, staff and students.

How to Address Campus Mail

Often we'll receive mail addressed to a department that may be physically located in more than one location. To help the mail move efficiently, use an appropriate campus mail envelope, follow this simple layout.

  • Recipients Name
  • Department Name
  • Building Name

Campus Mail Addresses and Zip Codes

Campus interdepartmental mail should be contained in:

  • a pink interdepartmental envelope
  • a gold 9X12 interdepartmental envelope
  • a white #10 business envelope
  • self-mailers may also be distributed providing the piece is folded in half or in thirds
  • multiple sheet self-mailers must be either folded so the pages do not separate easily, or fastened shut using an adhesive tab or piece of tape

 

Why so many rules about addressing?

The USPS processes all letter and flat size envelopes on automated equipment. This equipment optically reads the delivery address at an incredible rate of speed. The optical character reader (OCR) then sprays a corresponding delivery point barcode for addresses it can locate in its' database. UVM's Campus Retail Store takes advantage of the USPS technology and presorts our daily metered letter mail. The presorted mail has a barcode applied prior to giving it to the USPS. This "automation rate" mail is eligible for a discounted rate of postage. To take advantage of the efficiency and cost effectiveness of automated mail, follow this addressing guide for USPS letter mail.
