What does In Care Of mean?

I have to write my Mailing Address, they ask me to write on the box of In Care Of. Should I write my name there?

Does it mean send mail to someone at someone else’s address? But the adress I am going to write is mine. Should I left that box empty?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Happytofita

If the mailing address is your residence (the place where you always get your mail), you do not need to fill in the “in care of” box.
If you were living at someone else’s house, then you would fill in that person’s name in the “in care of” box.

Look here:
