Build a form with address autocomplete
Respondents type a few letters, pick their address, and street, city, region and postcode fill in as separate fields, laid out for their country.
- Suggestions from Google Maps
- Layout follows the country
- A column per part in exports
Sign up free, no card. Pro includes 1,000 address lookups a month: $29/month, or $25 billed yearly. On any plan you can connect your own Google key instead.
- Add an Address question and set a default country, or let it detect the country from the browser.
- Switch on Address autocomplete. On Pro it works straight away; on any plan you can connect your own Google key.
- Share the form. People pick a suggestion and every part lands in its own field.
The layout follows the country
An address block is not one shape. Nextforms re-lays the fields the moment the country changes:
- United States: City, State and ZIP, with a state dropdown.
- Netherlands: postcode before city, and no state field, because Dutch addresses don’t have one.
- United Kingdom: a post town where other countries have a city.
The postcode is checked against the format of the country it belongs to. A form for one country can lock to it, or limit the picker to the countries you serve. All of this is free on every plan, autocomplete or not.
Separate parts, not one blob of text
The answer is stored as structured parts, which is what makes it useful afterwards:
- Exports get a column per part: street, city, region, postcode, country. A spreadsheet can then be sorted, filtered, or handed to a courier.
- Workflows can route on a part: send submissions to a different approver when the country isn’t your own, or when the postcode starts with a region you cover.
- Piping can drop the address, or just the city, into a confirmation email or a later step.
Your key stays private
Suggestions come from Google Maps, and lookups go through Nextforms, so a key you connect is never inside the form for anyone to copy. If suggestions aren’t available, the fields work as normal inputs and the answer is still stored in parts.
Good for
Delivery and shipping forms, service bookings where someone has to travel, event registrations, membership applications, quote requests, and anywhere a wrong address costs a phone call.
