Hello all,

My predecessor used the correct AE state, but added a country of Armed Forces in Europe.  For AP state, the country is Armed Forces in Pacific.  Since these are not countries, they are causing errors in the NetCommunity plug-in.  How do you use the country field when the state is AE or AP?


Thanks,

Judy

    For Domestic Mail sent from within the US - no country is needed on an envelope. We use USA for the country but do not "show" it in address formatting.

    We use United States and AE/AP/FP for the State.  These address even though they are overseas, they use the US Postal System so we use them as US addresses.


    Thanks.

    It's US when the state is AE or AP.  That's because just like with Embassies, when you're in an embassy or on a military post, base, or unit in a foreign country, you are technically on US soil and therefore, served by the USPS.

    Thank you Blackbaud Community friends!  I thought it should be US, but I just wasn't finding the confirmation I needed.  Now I'm good to go.
