## Address


![Address](https://www.hipaatizer.com/docs/form-builder/components/address/image-7.png)

The **Address** component allows users to enter their complete address in a structured format. It includes individual fields for each part of the address, ensuring clean data collection and easier processing for downstream systems.

## Fields Included

When you add the Address component to your form, it will automatically include the following fields:

- **Street Address**
- **Apartment / Suite**
- **City**
- **State**
- **Country**
- **ZIP Code**

These fields are grouped together and treated as a single logical input block on the form.

## Autocompletion Options

By default, when a user starts typing their **Street Address**, most modern browsers will suggest previously entered addresses using built-in browser autofill.

### Google Places Autocompletion (Optional)

To provide real-time address suggestions from **Google Maps**, you can enable **Google Places Autocompletion**.

This feature offers more accurate and standardized addresses as users type, improving data quality and form usability.

#### 🔧 How to Enable:

1. Go to **Integrations → Integrated Accounts →  Google Maps**
2. Enter your **Google Places API Token**
3. Ensure billing is enabled in your **Google Cloud Console**
4. Save the integration

Once the integration is connected:

5. Go to the **form builder**
6. Select your **Address component**
7. In the **Component Settings**, toggle on **Enable Autocomplete**

> 💡 When both the integration and the toggle are enabled, the **Address component** will use **Google Places** to suggest matching addresses after the user types **at least 5 characters**.
