Why this is important
Legally, this address must be provided for accountability purposes in order to identify the sender to the recipient. This can also help facilitate the opt-out process, preventing complaints and it will also help improve delivery. Learn more about it here.
Please note that in the Commission’s view, “mailing address” can be the sender’s valid, current street (or civic) address, post office box address, rural route address, or general delivery address and must be valid for a minimum of 60 days after the message has been sent.
