The **Address Field** helps you capture detailed location information from respondents. It can collect everything from street addresses to zip codes, making it ideal for registrations, deliveries, and applications.

### Adding the Address Field
* Open your form in the editor from the Formester dashboard.
* Click **Add Elements**.
* Under **Personal Fields**, select **Address**.
* The field will appear on your form with standard address input areas.

### Basic Settings
* **Label**: Change the label to match your use case, such as “Home Address,” “Business Location,” or “Shipping Address.”
* **Placeholder**: Add guiding text like “Enter your address here” to make it easier for respondents.
* **Required Toggle**: Switch this on if providing an address is mandatory.

### Advanced Feature: Address Autocomplete
Formester allows you to enable **Address Autocomplete** so users can type less while filling out the form.

* Turn on the **Autocomplete toggle** in the field properties.
* Respondents will see suggestions as they type, powered by smart lookup.
* This reduces errors, speeds up form completion, and ensures more accurate address data.

### Best Practices for Using the Address Field
* **Ecommerce and Delivery**: Collect customer shipping addresses with autocomplete for faster checkout.
* **Event Registration**: Ask attendees for location details to plan logistics.
* **Applications**: Use for job or school applications that require permanent or current addresses.
* **Client Onboarding**: Gather business addresses for records and communication.

### Publishing Your Form
* Once configured, click **Publish**.
* Preview the form to ensure the address field displays correctly.
* Test the autocomplete feature by typing part of an address and checking suggestions.
