DS-160: Home Address & Phone

Official CEAC section: Address and Phone Information

Your actual residence — not a PO box. CEAC validates phone formats strictly; use the dropdown country code.

What this section asks

1. 1

   Home Street Address

2. 2

   Home City

3. 3

   Home State/Province

4. 4

   Home Postal Code

5. 5

   Home Country

6. 6

   Is your mailing address the same as home?

7. 7

   Primary Phone Number

   Country code from dropdown; no leading zero.

8. 8

   Email Address

   You log back into CEAC with this — use one you control long-term.

Where people get it wrong

• → PO boxes are rejected. A relative's or employer's address is fine if that's where you actually live.
• → Mailing address can differ from home — set it only if you can't receive mail at home.
