Addressing: A Guide for Tribes

Across Indian Country, homes do not have addresses. This lack of addressing leads to an inability for the U.S. Postal Service to pick up and deliver mail. As a result, Native Americans have increased difficulty voting, conducting commerce, and engaging with their community.

NARF in partnership with the Democracy Fund, is here to provide support to tribes and communities looking to address homes on Indian lands. Addressing that is compliant with the U.S. Postal Service’s format ensures that delivery can be conducted once the addressing is complete.

Additionally, the postal service template is widely accepted on voting registration forms and commercial and utility applications of all kinds. Federal support for addressing efforts is available. Learn more at vote.narf.org
