- full postal address (street, box number, city, postal code, country)
- full telephone and fax numbers (country code, area code, extension numbers)
- e-mail addresses

If an association has several contact addresses, one is selected as the principal address; this is generally the address of the association’s headquarters or its most prominent officer.
