Letter-writers are encouraged to write Santa's official USPS address on the envelope at: Santa, 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888. The Postal Service recommends envelopes include the sender's full name and return address in the upper left corner and bear first-class postage, such as a USPS forever stamp.
Thousands are sent to Santa and the North Pole each year. The mission of the USPS Operation Santa program is to answer these letters. Anyone in the United States can write a letter to Santa, no matter their religion or denomination.
There is no age limit for letter writers. Everyone deserves to experience the magic of the season. Multiple letters can be put in the same envelope, but each letter must include a full name and address, and the envelope might require additional postage.
The USPS Operation Santa® program invites everyone in the continental U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to write letters to Santa. Letters will be posted on USPSOperationSanta without personal identifying information, so others can respond to the holiday wishes.
Letters may be sent to the district Consumer Affairs office. Local businesses and major corporations are recruited to volunteer their services to answer those letters in a non-committal manner. Some Post Offices™ participate in Operation Santa™ during the holidays to respond to letters.
