no such address

Mail returned notation

No such address is a postal notation indicating that mail cannot be delivered because the specified address doesn't exist or cannot be located.

It appears stamped or written on returned mail when the street number, building, or location is invalid: The letter came back marked "no such address".

The phrase sometimes extends to describe unreachable people or defunct places: I tried to find my old apartment, but it's no such address now.
