# Add an address

> This last step is optional, but can be useful if you're using our cards feature.

We're going to save an address to your account so that when you convert a virtual card into a physical one, you can supply a reusable address ID rather than having to specify a new recipient address for each request.

<Info>
  The `type` can be anything that you want, other than `registered`. You'll be able to filter addresses by type when you [look up addresses](/api-reference/addresses/list-addresses), so we recommend using at least `office` and `personal` or similar.

  ```bash Sandbox theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST \
    'https://api-sandbox.equalsmoney.com/v2/addresses?accountId=F12345' \
    -H 'Authorization: ApiKey {apiKey}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "type": "office",
      "addressLine1": "8 St Marks Close,",
      "addressLine2": "Scarborough",
      "addressContact": "John Smith",
      "city": "London",
      "postcode": "YO126SQ",
      "country": "England"
    }'
  ```

  ```bash Production theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST \
    'https://api.equalsmoney.com/v2/addresses?accountId=F12345' \
    -H 'Authorization: ApiKey {apiKey}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "type": "office",
      "addressLine1": "8 St Marks Close,",
      "addressLine2": "Scarborough",
      "addressContact": "John Smith",
      "city": "London",
      "postcode": "YO126SQ",
      "country": "England"
    }'
  ```

If your request is successful, you'll receive a `200` response containing an `id`. You can now supply this ID when you [convert a card](/api-reference/order-a-card/convert-a-virtual-card-into-a-physical-card).

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "94a5eb77-0d1c-42c4-895d-ccbd6db8980c",
  "type": "office",
  "nickName": null,
  "addressLine1": "8 St Marks Close,",
  "addressLine2": "Scarborough",
  "addressLine3": null,
  "addressContact": "John Smith",
  "city": "London",
  "postcode": "YO126SQ",
  "country": "England"
}
```
