Make Sure Addresses Actually Exist
Use Delivery Point Validation - DPV

Delivery Point Validation - DPV - Verifies Addresses

The USPS-based Delivery Point Validation - DPV - system enables you to verify that an address actually exists. This is an important step in your mailing list process. You cannot rely on CASS coding for address validation. CASS supplies information verifying the submitted address is written correctly and falls within a USPS-approves address range, but won't validate the address.

DPV validates the existence of both primary and secondary address numbers. Delivery Point Validation can also determine if address is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agent - CMRA. This can help you locate addresses with private mailboxes at a distribution location. When DPV is used with address validation software, the system can perform more lookups to attempt to identify and resolve multiple match situations. Northwest Database Services features Delivery Point Validation service codes along with our National Change Of Address System - NCOA processing service. We also use Address Change Service ACS for this procedure. This assures the most accurate mailing list possible for you.

DPV offers you these following benefits . . .

• Delivery Point Validation seeks out multiple match addresses. When two addresses are very similar and a single unique address cannot be selected, DPV processing will inspect both house and secondary unit information. If a house or secondary unit is not valid, the address validation software can eliminate the invalid address, breaking match ties.
• DPV footnote intelligence codes helps resolving ambiguous addresses. Delivery Point Validation provides an intelligence code for each address record. This identifies the magnitude of failure helping you in the correction process. Here's an exp ample of a DPV footnote: “Primary House Number Valid, but Secondary Unit is Missing on Input.” Northwest Database Services DPV service uses DPV footnote information to strengthen your mailing list accuracy.
• Delivery Point Validation also provides your with Commercial Mail Receiving Agent - CMRA information. This is very important if you planning to exclude mailing to addresses where the recipient acts as an agent receiving and/or forwarding mail delivery for others. DPV allows you to validate this information during data entry.
• Delivery Point Validation verifies primary and secondary numbers and unit designators. Unit designators include apartment or business suite numbers. The US Postal Service updates this data monthly to ensure the most current information for your primary and secondary address information.
