# Update a worker address

> Correct an address use or the shared place it points at.

### Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  ID of the worker address to update.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="place" type="string">
  Correct this worker address so it points at another place already referenced
  by the same worker's addresses.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="correction" type="boolean" deprecated>
  Deprecated and ignored. Every `PATCH` to a worker address is a correction:
  it changes what the existing record claims, never records a new address.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="starts" type="date">
  Correct the date this worker address became effective.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="ends" type="date">
  Correct the date this worker address stopped being effective.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="line1" type="string">
  Correct address line 1.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="line2" type="string">
  Correct address line 2.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="city" type="string">
  Correct city.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="state" type="string">
  Correct state, province, or subdivision.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="postal_code" type="string">
  Correct postal code.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="country" type="string">
  Correct two-letter country code.
</ParamField>

### Returns

Returns the updated [Worker address object](/reference/worker-addresses/object).

<Note>
  Use `POST /v1/worker-addresses` when the worker has moved or a new effective
  row should be created. Use `PATCH` only when the existing row or place
  reference was recorded incorrectly — every `PATCH` is a correction. Field corrections
  update the shared place and affect every worker address and location that
  points at it.
</Note>

<Note>
  Date corrections cascade to the adjacent record. When the corrected date is a
  boundary shared with the previous or next address of the same purpose, that
  record's matching date moves with it.
