Mailing Address

A structured record of a postal address, including start and end dates, used to identify where a person can receive mail or courier deliveries.

The Mailing Address object records a physical postal location at which a person can receive courier packages or mail, structured into street, city, regional, country, and postal code components.

Start and end dates allow the record to represent an address that is temporary, and an address type classifies its intended use. As a contact-location entity, it corresponds to the kind of address record used to link a person to a physical location within a structured research-information object model.
