Verify U.S. and Canada postal addresses – in real-time or batch

Protect against fraud, waste and excess mailing costs by cleaning your database of inaccurate and undeliverable addresses with Address Object – a component of the Data Quality Suite. This multiplatform API will parse, standardize and verify U.S. addresses against the USPS database and/or Canadian addresses against the latest Canada Post address data file. The API includes DPV (Delivery Point Validation), LACS^Link®, Suite^{Link TM}, Vacant Tables, and EWS.

Features and Benefits
    • Add missing ZIP+4, carrier route and delivery point codes
    • CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) Certified
    • Native support for Canadian addresses (Additional subscription fee required)
    • Find Suggestion engine provides closest alternatives to invalid address
    • Multiplatform support with 32/64-bit versions available

Validate Addresses to the Actual Delivery Point
Address Object validates addresses to the highest level of accuracy – the physical delivery point – using the DPV and LACS^Link systems, mandatory for CASS Certified processing and postal discounts.

Verify Non-USPS Addresses
DeliveryPlus, a unique database of over 5 million parcel addresses, is now available for validating addresses that are not included in the USPS National Address File. These addresses may be able to receive shipments from parcel carriers such as FedEx and UPS, even though the USPS does not deliver to these properties. Use DeliveryPlus to help identify and validate addresses for enhanced shipping efficiency.

Add Missing Suite or Apartment Numbers for Improved Deliverability
Address Object includes a new, complimentary add-on called AddressPlus that analyzes residential address records that are identified during ZIP+4 encoding and will append those records with the right apartment number based on a Last Name. AddressPlus works concurrently with the USPS Suite^Link product which appends business address records with the appropriate secondary suite information based on a Company name. Address data for Address Plus is compiled from multiple business and residential sources and is unique to Address Object.

4 Interfaces for Enhanced Functionality
Address Object includes Address Check, Parse, StreetData and ZipData interfaces. The Address Check interface is powered by a CASS Certified search engine to verify addresses, correct and append missing ZIP+4 codes and print USPS CASS Form 3553. The Parse interface breaks down an address into its components. The StreetData interface matches a street name or just a partial name against a ZIP Code and returns the known valid address ranges that match that pattern. The ZipData Interface links geographic data to a ZIP Code including carrier route, FIPS code, and latitude/longitude.

Find Suggestion Engine
Address Object’s employs complex algorithms to provide the closest possible alternatives to an invalid address. For instance, “1014 laurel, beverly hills CA” is missing suffix information. Find Suggestion could be used to present the following alternatives:

“1000-1499 Laurel Way, Beverly Hills CA 90210”
“1000-1299 Laurel Ln, Beverly Hills CA 90210”
“1000-1999 Lake Dr, Beverly Hills CA 90210”
