- Building - If the building the address is in has a name, this is where it goes.
- Premise and street - The building or unit number should be listed first, followed by the street.
- Dependent locality - Local area or neighborhood goes next, if applicable.
- City and postal code - City and postal code go on the same line, the postal code goes second.
- Country - This can be shortened to WSM.
