Appropriate address truncation question due to NY DMV Limitations
Hello, I am wondering if I can ask some advice. I have had difficulty receiving mail from the NY State DMV in the past because of the way they truncate addresses on documents. An address is limited to 20 characters including spaces. I am trying to determine the most appropriate way to truncate my address using USPS guidelines to best ensure I get my critical mail.
Here is the example address (not real) that id like advice on that will greatly help me with mine:
1234 Garden Brush St Apt N
Currently the DMV abbreviates mine to:
1234 Garden Brush N
I believe the issue here is that the apartment is also a directional, and there is no such thing as Garden Brush St “North.”
Another resident had the DMV abbreviate theirs to:
1234 Garden Brush St
The issue here is the missing apartment designation, causing the carrier to have to figure it out.
My question: what is the best truncation to fit into the 20 characters (including spaces) max for this address? I sincerely appreciate your help.
