US Address Format Guide
Learn where street, city, state and ZIP values belong in US forms and spreadsheet columns. For form builders and anyone preparing sample data, compare the generated example with the field notes, then use the US generator to copy your own values.
A complete US address example
145 Meadow Street New York, NY 10028 United States
This example was created by the same fake address generator used in the tools. The street and name are invented; city, state and ZIP stay paired.
Preserve street and unit information
Keep any suite, apartment or building details in the street fields when your form includes them. Put the city, state abbreviation and ZIP on the locality line. For official presentation conventions, see USPS Publication 28.
Keep ZIP codes as text
A ZIP code can start with zero. When importing CSV into a spreadsheet, set the column to Text so the complete five-character value survives. The random ZIP code generator returns city and state with each postal code.
Check the destination when delivery matters
Generated addresses are useful for forms, layouts and demonstrations. Confirm the intended recipient's current details for a real delivery.
