# Recipient name

**Element type: Required**

**Endpoints used:** [TransactionParameterModel](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/TransactionParameterModel/), [TransactionLineParameterModel](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/TransactionLineParameterModel/)

Your integration must provide a way for users to specify the recipient's first and last name. This is done using the`RecipientName` parameter. When specifying this parameter, the first and last names should be separated by a space. Note that this value is required because volume checks are performed on recipients.
