Address line 1: Enter the street address, or the PO box when the recipient uses one and the form allows it.
Address line 2: Use for an apartment, floor or building if the form has no separate field. Leave it empty if it does not apply.
City / town: Use the locality in the recipient’s address. Fill a district or village separately if the form asks.
State / province / region: Use the region name or the value offered by the form. Look up subdivision codes if the form asks for a code. Look up subdivision codes
ZIP / postal code: Keep any leading zeros, letters and spaces. If the address has no postcode and the form insists on one, ask the form provider what to use.
Country / region: Select the destination as the form lists it. The two-letter ISO 3166-1 code is shown below for forms that ask for a country code.
