What does it mean?

Often abbreviated as c/o, “care of” means through someone or by way of someone. This phrase indicates that something is to be delivered to an addressee where they don’t normally receive correspondence. In practice, it lets the post office know the recipient is not the normal recipient at that street address.

How do I use it?

Write the recipient’s name on the first line, as you do with most letters. Start the second line with “c/o” followed by the person or company name associated with the address you are using.

Is it still used?

Care of is still mentioned in multiple USPS manual entries. Here, in the recipient services manual in section 1.1.8.h, it mentions that restricted delivery packages marked with “Care Of” can be signed by either party.
