# formattedAddress(from:)

Returns an attributed string containing the formatted address.

## Declaration

```swift
func formattedAddress(from address: [AnyHashable : Any]!) -> NSAttributedString!
```

## Parameters

- `address`: The dictionary containing a street address.

## Return Value

Return Value An attributed string containing the formatted address.

## Discussion

Discussion The string’s attributes match address dictionary keys, such as kABAddressStreetKey. Each attribute value contains the localized description of the key. (For example, the value of a Canadian kABAddressZIPKey field would be “Postal Code”, while the value of a French one would be “Code Postal”.) To get the dictionary containing a street address for a person record, use value(forProperty:) with the property kABAddressProperty, and then getting one of the values from the multivalue that is returned.
