Effective October 13, 2005, Publication 28, Postal
Addressing Standards, is revised to reflect a change in the addressing
standards for mail destined for Canada. Canada Post has advised the Postal
ServiceTM that there is now only one addressing standard for Canada (previously
there had been two acceptable address formats).
We will incorporate these revisions into the next
printed version of Publication 28 and also into the online version available
on the Postal Service PolicyNet Web site:
• Go to http://blue.usps.gov.
• Under "Essential Links" in the
left-hand column, click on References.
• Under "References" in the right-hand
column, under "Policies," click on PolicyNet.
• Click on PUBs.

be two spaces between the province abbreviation and the postal code, as
