addressVerificationInformation. addressType

Contains the record type of the postal code to which the address was matched.
U.S. Addresses
: Depending on the quantity and quality of the address information provided, this field contains one or two characters:
  • One character: Sufficient correct information was provided to result in accurate matching.
  • Two characters: Standardization would provide a better address if more or better input address information was available. The second character is
    D
     (default).
Blank fields are unassigned. When an address cannot be standardized, the parsing of the input data determines the address type. In this case, standardization can indicate a street, rural route, highway contract, general delivery, or PO box.
These address type codes are returned:
