I have a client that needs to use FPO addresses for contacts and members. Is there something that needs to be configured in CiviCRM for this capability?

1Silly question perhaps, but what is FPO address?– ErikH - CiviCooPCommented Jun 24, 2015 at 15:04

Hi, Erik! Thanks ... FPO is an original ARMY term, also known by the Navy as Fleet Post Office associated with Ships and Navy installations. It is a location where (physical) mail can be sent and then follow defense channels for distribution. Specific to my case, the U.S. Navy Sailing Association needs to make use of FPO addressing.– Carl FuschCommented Jun 24, 2015 at 15:23

The list of states isn't editable by the end user, so it will require filing a bug to get APO, FPO (and whatever the third one is) added as state. In the meantime, I recommend using APO as the city, and not filling in the state or country (per USPS recommendations).

Thanks, Nicholai ... I will file a feature/bug request for FPO/APO especially given the current need for its use. In the meantime, we will use your recommendation. Thanks for your input. - Carl Commented Jun 24, 2015 at 18:02
