How do I put my military address online?

The proper format to enter a military address is:

  1. Name – First and Last.
  2. Address Line 1 – Unit and Box numbers.
  3. Address Line 2 – Usually not needed, but if the address includes an FOB (Forward Operating Base) it can be put here.
  4. City – APO (Army Post Office)/FPO (Fleet Post Office)/DPO (Diplomatic Post Office)

What is APO or FPO?

APO [Army Post Office] and FPO [Fleet Post Office] are military designated addresses that allow mail to be delivered to overseas military locations. APO addresses are associated with US Army or Air Force installations. FPO addresses are associated with US Navy installations and ships in the United States.

How do APO addresses work?

Military addresses must show the grade, full name with middle name or initial, and PSC number, unit number, or ship name. Replace the city name with “APO ” or “FPO,” and the state with “AA,” “AE,” or “AP,” and use a special ZIP Code. All APO / FPO shipments must be made by using the United States Post Office (USPS).
