When setting up your Google Workspace account, it is important that you verify your address information. Although it may seem like a minor detail, the accuracy of your address information can greatly affect usability, security, and setting up services like Google Workspace.
In this article, we will discuss:
Address Requirements
To successfully complete the setup, ensure you have correctly filled in the following fields:
- Address Line: Include your full street address, including unit or apartment number, if applicable. For example: 123 Main St, Apt 4B.
- Postal Code: Your location’s zip code or postal code. (e.g., 90210)

Verifying Your Address with Google Maps
To ensure your address is correctly formatted, we recommend typing it into Google Maps. This can help confirm the accuracy of the address, as Google Maps may correct the address if it contains errors or incomplete information.
