Are hyphens allowed as part of a name or address? |
Yes, hyphens can be used in names or addresses. Just make sure to apply a space both before and after the hyphen so the name is easier to read and complies with database needs. For example, if an official source uses a hyphen in their name 'Horizons K-8 School,' make sure to enter the spaces before and after the hyphen: e.g. 'Horizons K - 8 School,' not 'Horizons K-8 School.' Often you will find hyphens in names, for example Bryant-Webster Dual Language ECE-8 School. The name should be entered as: Bryant - Webster Dual Language ECE - 8 School (http://bryantwebster.dpsk12.org/ece-8-school/) Does the addition of spaces apply to the "City" field as well? Alternatively, should hyphens be removed from the "City" field to comply with USPS addressing standards?
