# State Options

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-MKEuy2TqoJzo_5bKu-R" alt=""></div>

The State Options configurations provide an ability for the admin user to configure if the state value is required for specific countries. For countries where the state is not required, the field can be omitted entirely from the address or included as an optional field.

Currently, the State/Province field is always visible on the front-end and is not a required field.
