Outer wrappers must include the name of the intended recipient when using the US Postal Service.

• A. Not specified
• B. True
• C. False
• D. Not sure

Answer: (C)

Understanding USPS mailpiece addressing: what matters is a clear, complete delivery address on the outside, plus a return address when possible. The name of the recipient is usually part of that address, but there isn’t a universal rule that the outer wrapper must display the recipient’s name separately or at all. Mail can be routed using the address even if the name isn’t printed on the wrapper, though including the name can help ensure correct delivery in multi-tenant buildings. So stating that outer wrappers must include the name of the intended recipient is not a required rule, making that option false.
