# 📍 I Can’t Find My Address When Taking Out Standard Tenant Coverage

If you’re trying to take out **standard tenant insurance** and your address isn’t showing up, here’s what’s happening — and what you can do next.


 🧭 Why It Happens

The standard tenant coverage form uses **Canada Post’s postal code lookup** to validate your address.  
If your address **isn’t listed with Canada Post**, the system won’t be able to recognize or verify it.

🔗 You can check if your address is listed here:  
👉 Canada Post Postal Code Lookup
([https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/tools/find-a-postal-code.page)](https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/tools/find-a-postal-code.page)

 🛠 What You Can Do:

 ✅ Option 1: Contact Canada Post

Your **property manager or landlord** should reach out to **Canada Post** and request that the address be added to their database.  
Once that’s done, the address will become available for validation, and you’ll be able to proceed with standard tenant coverage.

 🧾 Option 2: Take Out a Custom Insurance Quote

If you need coverage right away, you can choose a **custom tenant insurance quote** instead. During the quote process:

* Select **“I cannot find my address. Let me type it in.”**
    
* This allows you to manually input your address and get a policy tailored to your location.
