Rules and Guidelines for Single-Line Address Validation

Rules and Guidelines for Single-Line Address Validation

Consider the following rules and guidelines when you configure Address Verification for single-line validation in fast completion mode:
  • Address Verification identifies the address elements in a single-line address input based on their position. You must enter the elements in the correct order even if you leave out some of the elements from the input. However, for optimum results, enter as many details as possible in the input address. When you enter an address in single line, ensure that you do not mix Delivery Address Line (DAL) elements and Country-Specific Last Line (CSLLN) elements.
    The following table shows the address element order to use for the supported countries:
    Country
    Order of Address Elements
    Australia
    [Sub-building] [House Number] [Street] [Locality] [Province] [Post Code]
    Canada
    [Sub-building] [House Number] [Street] [Delivery Service] [Locality] [Province] [Post Code]
    China
    [Post Code] [Province] [Locality] [Street] [House Number] [Sub-building]
    Germany
    [Street] [House Number] [Post Code] [Locality] [Province]
    Japan
    [Post Code] [Province] [Main Locality] [Sub-locality] [Chome] Ban] [Go]
    New Zealand
    [Sub-building] [House Number] [Street] [Delivery Service] [Locality] [Post Code]
    United Kingdom
    [Sub-building] [House Number] [Street] [Main Locality] [Sub-locality] [Post Code]
    United States
    [Sub-building] [House Number] [Street] [Locality] [Province] [Post Code]
  • Although delimiters are not required in single-line address input, Address Verification processes a comma or a semicolon in the input as an element separator. An input address with delimiters in a Latin script might fetch better suggestions than an address without delimiters. Informatica Address Verification does not support country, organization, building, or contact information in single-line address input.
  • If the single-line address input contains only a numeric input, Address Verification considers it as the post code and returns suggestions accordingly. For countries where the house number appears on the left side of the street name or locality, if the single-line address input begins with a number that is followed by a string, Address Verification considers the number as a house number and the following string as the street name or locality. If Address Verification does not find a match for this combination, Address Verification tries to interpret the input as street name without house number or as a combination of post code and locality.
  • When there is no perfect match for an input, Address Verification returns multiple suggestions to help you choose the most appropriate result.
  • Address Verification returns an N6 process status code if singleiline address validation is not available for the country to which the input address belongs.
