About the Invoice Address Formatter
An address pasted from an email arrives on one line, with commas in odd places and the postcode in the middle. Put that on an invoice and it looks careless; put it on a customs document or a courier label and it can cause a delivery failure. Every country has a conventional order, and they genuinely differ.
The UK puts the town then the postcode on separate lines. The US puts city, state and ZIP on one line. Germany and France put the postcode before the town. Japan starts with the postcode and runs largest to smallest. India uses a PIN code after the city. This formats an address into the right order and line breaks for the destination country.
It also normalises what can be normalised — the UK postcode spaced and capitalised, the US state as its two-letter code, the country name on the last line in capitals for international post — and flags a postcode that does not match the country’s format.

Frequently asked questions
In the destination country’s own format, with the country name in capitals on the last line. The postal services of both countries read it that way — the sending country reads the last line and the receiving country reads the rest.
It depends on the country. After the town on its own line in the UK, after the state on the same line in the US, before the town in Germany, France and most of Europe, and first in Japan.
For a VAT invoice, the customer’s address is a required field, and for a cross-border supply it can decide the tax treatment. For a commercial invoice it has to match the consignee on the shipping documents.
No. The formatting and postcode checks run in your browser; nothing is looked up in a postal database.
