Adresas

Adresas is the Lithuanian term for a location that identifies where a person, organization, or resource can be found or reached. The concept covers both physical locations used for mail and visits, and digital endpoints used for communication and retrieval of information. In everyday use, an adresas can denote where someone lives or where a company is based, while in logistics it designates the destination for letters, parcels, or deliveries. In information technology, the term is also applied to electronic destinations such as email addresses, web addresses (URLs), or network addresses like IP addresses.

A physical address typically includes several elements. Common components are the street name, building or house number, apartment or unit number if applicable, city or town, postal code, and country. The exact order and required elements vary by country and are defined by national postal services and local regulations. Accurate addressing supports reliable delivery, location identification, and service eligibility.

Electronic addresses are used to route digital communication and access resources. An email address identifies a recipient, a URL or domain address locates a resource on the Internet, and an IP address identifies a device on a network. These addresses can be dynamic or static and may require updates as contact details or network configurations change.

In administrative contexts, an adresas serves as an official point of contact for correspondence, taxation, voting registration, contracts, and regulatory compliance. Maintaining current addresses helps ensure effective communication and proper service delivery.
