# Add an Address to a Payee

> Save an address for a payee. A payee can hold more than one per destination country.

`country` (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. `MX`, `IN`, `AE`) is required. When you send an international payout you reference the address by its ID; its country must match the payout's destination country and it must carry every field that corridor requires, or the payout is rejected.

`purposes` is also required — one or more product keys naming what this address may be used for. Fetch the keys your platform can use from `GET /v1/platform/payees/address-purposes`.

Only one live address per country may carry the `international` purpose. Adding a second one for a country that already has one returns `409 international_address_conflict`, naming the existing address's ID. Resubmit with `on_international_conflict` set to `replace` (the existing address loses the `international` purpose, or is revoked outright if that was its only one) or `keep` (the existing address is untouched and `international` is dropped from this one — it must have at least one other purpose, or the request is rejected).

      summary: Add an Address to a Payee
      description: >-
        Save an address for a payee. A payee can hold more than one — one per
        destination country — because the recipient's address, phone, and ID
        document are local to the country the money is sent to.


        `country` (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. `MX`, `IN`, `AE`) is required. When
        you send an international payout you reference the address by its ID;
        its country must match the payout's destination country and it must
        carry every field that corridor requires, or the payout is rejected.

        ``country`` (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) is required — it is the key an

        international payout matches against the resolved destination country,
        so an

        address with no country could never be used for one. ``line1`` is
        required

        too: a saved "address" with no street is not usable for a mailed check
        or a

        payout's beneficiary block.
