How do I address letters to the US from Europe?

Question

I am leaving to go to Europe and want to send things back home. Do I write the address the same as I would in the USA?

Answer 1

Yes, just add USA at the bottom of the address in big letters and underlined.

Answer 2

You might want to put UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, to make sure they send it to America instead of United Kingdom or United Arab Emirates or any other United Nations.

Or preferably use the local language:

France: États-Unis d'Amérique

Spain: Estados Unidos de América

Italy: Stati Uniti d'America

Germany: Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika

Answer 3

Yes, and Im sure others have pointed out, write  United States under the rest of it:

John Jones

1 Anywhere Street

Anytown, NJ 01235

UNITED STATES

Answer 4

Make sure to add North America under USA. Many Europeans may mix it up as USA is the acronym for the UK in some languages (United Statio d'Anglaterra.)
