This is a chain of nouns, and each の links one noun to the next.
- 申込書 = application form
- 住所 = address
- 欄 = column / box / field / blank on a form
So:
- 申込書の住所 = the address on the application form
- 申込書の住所の欄 = the address field on the application form
In English, we often translate this chain backwards: the address field of the application form → more naturally, the address field on the application form.
Japanese often stacks nouns like this.
欄 means a space, box, field, or section for writing something, especially on a form or document.
So in this sentence, 住所の欄 means:
- the address field
- the box where you write your address
It is a common word in formal written Japanese, especially on forms:
- 氏名欄 = name field
- 住所欄 = address field
- 記入欄 = entry field / space to fill in
