You can retrieve address ID values as an enrichment to valid South Korea addresses. The address ID value is a unique string that Address Verification assigns to South Korea addresses. Use the address ID value to obtain a South Korea address in the current, street-based format or in the older, land lot-based format. You can also use the address ID value to obtain the six-digit post code or the five-digit post code for the address.

To receive the address ID as an enrichment, install the South Korea supplementary reference address database (

KOR5E1.MD

). After you install, set the

EnrichmentSupplementaryKR

attribute of the

Process

element in

Parameters.xml

to ON.

When you use the address ID value to retrieve South Korea address information, configure Address Verification to run in address code lookup mode. To enable address code lookup for a South Korea address, set the

Type

attribute of the

AddressCode

element in the

InputData.xml

to KOR_ADDRESS_ID.

The default script of the South Korea reference address database is Hangul. You can use Address Verification to verify South Korea addresses in the Hangul script and to receive the result output in Hangul script. Alternatively, you can configure the

PreferredScript

attribute of the

Result

element in

Parameters.xml

to an appropriate value to receive the output in the ASCII script.

Address Verification supports the new, five-digit postal codes and the older, six-digit postal codes in South Korea. To verify the six-digit post codes, set the

MatchingExtendedArchive

attribute of the

Process

element in

Parameters.xml

to ON. If you do not set

MatchingExtendedArchive

to ON, Address Verification identifies the six-digit post codes as not valid.

You can verify older, land lot-based addresses and addresses with older, six-digit post codes in South Korea. To verify the address and post code data, set the

MatchingExtendedArchive

attribute of the

Process

element in

Parameters.xml

to ON. When you set

MatchingExtendedArchive

to ON, Address Verification returns an extended element result status of F if the address or the post code uses the older format. Address Verification does not return older address information if you set

MatchingExtendedArchive

to OFF.
