Post Office Guidelines
For Preparing Outgoing Mail
Addressing
The upper right corner of the envelope or parcel is reserved for postage. Do not place any markings in this area. Each outgoing letter, flat (large manila envelope), or parcel must carry the following information:
- The return address must be printed in the upper left corner and include the department or office, institution, PO Box number, city, state, and zip code.
- The address of the recipient must be printed in the center of the envelope and should include the name, agency or company, street address or route number, city, state, and zip code. The zip code should always appear on the last line of the address. Outgoing US mail that does not have a zip code will be delayed in the mail stream.
In order for you to receive mail and packages promptly and efficiently, please use the following formats. Thank you!
