street address

A letter carrier reads the street address on a mailbox.

Definition

Noun: 1. A specific, physical location identifier: A "street address" is the precise, written information used to identify the location of a building, residence, or business. It typically includes a building number, street name, and often a city, state, and postal code. It is the information required for physical mail delivery or for finding a place in person.

Usage

A "street address" is used to specify a physical point of delivery or location. It is distinct from other types of addresses, such as email addresses, website URLs (web addresses), or P.O. Box numbers. - Use it when providing directions for someone to visit a location. - Use it when filling out forms that require a physical location for shipping, billing, or registration. - It is a standard component of personal and business contact information.

Examples
  • Noun:
    • Please provide your full street address for the delivery.
