Why doesn't my address fit?
Please note that your address must fit in the allotted space due to the size and space limitations of the magazine’s mailing label. Longer addresses can be accommodated by abbreviating. Below you will find a list of common postal abbreviations.
If you are attempting to enter the address of a correctional facility that requires additional character fields, we advise that you contact the facility regarding possible modifications that can be made to accommodate the standardized size of the magazine label.
Below, please find a list of common abbreviations for aspects of your address that are officially recognized by the USPS.
