HTML Tags

HTML <address> Tag

The <address> tag supplies contact information for the nearest <article> or <body> ancestor, such as an author or owner.


What is the <address> tag?

The <address> element represents contact information for the person or organisation responsible for the document, or for the nearest <article>. This can include a name, email, physical address, phone number, or a link to a profile. It is a semantic element, not a general-purpose address block.

Complete example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <body>
    <address>
      Written by <a href="mailto:team@myinternships.in">the MyInternships team</a>.<br />
      Bengaluru, India
    </address>
  </body>
</html>
⚠️

Do not use <address> for arbitrary postal addresses (for example a shipping address inside a form). Reserve it for contact details of the document or article's author.

By default, browsers render <address> content in italics as a block-level element. You can override this with CSS.

The <address> tag supports only global attributes and is supported in all browsers.
