How to Address a Member of the

United States House of Representatives

While "Representative", "Congressman", and "Congresswoman" are not traditional honorifics for members of the House of Representatives, they are the informal honorifics of choice of some members. Follow the preference of the bearer.

Envelope, official:

The Honorable

(Full name)

United States House of Representatives

(Address)

Envelope as chairman of a committee or subcommittee:

The Honorable

(Full name)

Chairman

(Committee or subcommittee name)

(Address)

Letter salutation:

Dear Mr./Ms. (surname):

"Dear Representative" is the usual way. You can also call him any which way you want as long as you do not insult him or give him a title that is not his. You can therefore call a retired officer by his grade, a doctor "doctor". Otherwise "Sir/Madam", or his first name will work.

Address it to "Hon. [FIRST AND LAST NAME]" (where "Hon." stands for "the Honorable"), and in the salutation line say "Dear Rep. [or Representative] [LAST NAME]" -- not sure if that is the only way or the most formal way, but it should suffice.
