The following table describes the values and data indicators that Informatica Address Verification can return when you verify a United States address in certified mode:
Field
Property
Description
Barcode
BarCode
An 11-digit number that represents the delivery point for the record. It consists of the nine-digit ZIP+4 code and the two-digit Delivery Point Answer.
Carrier Route Answer
CarrierRoute
A four-character code assigned to a mail delivery or collection route within a 5-digit ZIP Code. The first character of the code is alphabetical and the last three are numeric:
  • Bnnn = PO box
  • Hnnn = Highway contract
  • Rnnn = Rural route
  • Cnnn = City delivery
  • Gnnn = General delivery
Concatenation of DPV Footnotes*
DPVFootnoteComplete
All data values from the populated DPV Footnote fields in a single string.
Congressional District
CongressionalDistrict
A standard value that identifies a geographic area served by a member of the United States House of Representatives or Senate. If the address is an Army/Air Force (APO) address or a fleet post office (FPO) address, the field is blank. If there is only one member of congress within the state, the value is AL (At Large).
Default Flag
DefaultFlag
Indicates that the record matched to a high-rise, rural route, or street default record in the ZIP + 4 data. The flag has the value Y for a matching record.

DeliveryPoint
The final two digits of the house/box number, or if a High-rise record is matched, the secondary unit number that represents the delivery point information. The Delivery Point Answer contributes to the 11-digit delivery point barcode (DPBC).
Delivery Point Check Digit Answer
DeliveryPointCheckDigit
A number that you can add to the sum of the other digits in the delivery point barcode (DPBC) to yield a number that is a multiple of ten. For example:
ZIP+4 code = 123456789
Delivery Point Answer = 01
Sum of digits (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+0+1) = 46
Check digit = 4 (46+4 = 50)
