My address is 56 Third Street ...

My address is 56 Third Street, Apartment 4/My address is Apartment 4, 56 Third Street. Which is more natural in British English.

This isn't anything to do with British English or with language at all really but rather a more general cultural thing. In the UK, and I'd say in Europe generally, or at least Western Europe, people go from small to big, so: flat number, then building number, street, town, county, country. Is Russia different in this regard?

In Russia it's the other way around.

In the US, it would be:

123 Main St, Apt 3
Anytown, NY 12345

In the US the apartment/suite number is listed after the street address. Sometimes it's on a separate additional line below the street address, but more often it's on the same line. I think Canada is the same, but Mexico has a very different format altogether, so it's not even consistent across North America.


Name
Street address, Apt/St.
City, State (two letter abbreviation), Zip

e.g.

John Doe
123 Pine Street, Apt. 2B
Dallas, TX 01235

Officially I think you're supposed to put the country name on a new line below the state and zip, but I've seen it added after the zip on the same line. We omit "USA" when mailing within the US anyway.


Honorifics or titles go before the first name (i.e. "Mrs, Dr, Rev, The Honorable")" but any kind of job position title (i.e. "Marketing Manager") follows the last name.
