missing_street
The country requires a street line and none was found
The operator treats the street line as mandatory, and neither a street nor a delivery point that stands in for one (a box, a rural route, general delivery) was recognised in the address.

What it means
Almost every country requires a first address line. A postcode and a town alone reach a place, not a door, so the address cannot be delivered as written.
A post-office box, a rural route or a general-delivery line stands in for the street line, which is exactly what the operator intends, so none of those answers this reason. What does is an address that carries only geography: "94043", or "Mountain View, CA 94043".
What to do
Send the street line in `address_line1`, or the whole address in `address`. If your form collects the house number separately, write it into the same line in the order that country uses.
