To write an address correctly on a letter or envelope, follow these guidelines:

Recipient's Address (Front of Envelope)

• Write the recipient's full name on the first line.
• On the next line, write the house number followed by the street name. If applicable, include building or apartment numbers.
• On the following line, write the city or town name in capital letters.
• Next, write the postal code and province or state (also in capital letters for clarity).
• For international mail, add the country name on the last line in capital letters.
• Center the recipient's address on the front of the envelope, leaving the upper right corner free for postage stamps

Sender's Address (Return Address)

• Write the sender's full name on the first line.
• If relevant, add the company name on the next line.
• Then write the street address, including house number and street name.
• Include the city or town, postal code, and country (for international mail).
• Place the sender's address in the upper left corner on the front of the envelope or on the back flap if handwriting the letter

Additional Tips

• Use clear, legible handwriting or a printed label in a simple font (avoid italics or underlining).
• Do not use commas or full stops in the address lines unless required by local postal standards.
• Use standard abbreviations for street types and directions (e.g., ST for Street, RD for Road).
• Place stamps in the top right corner of the envelope

Following this format ensures smooth and timely delivery of your letter.
