Address Verification Notes

When you verify Switzerland addresses, note the following points:

Some locality names in Switzerland have numbers at the end. For example, Basel 22 and Bellinzona 2.

In AddressLines format, Informatica Address Verification removes the number from the locality name. For example, Address Verification returns Basel instead of Basel 22 in AddressLines output.

Addresses that belong to different localities might share the same postal code. For example, addresses with postal code 3003 could be from Bern 9 or Bern 94. Note that in AddressLines output, Address Verification returns 3003 Bern instead of 3003 Bern 9 or 3003 Bern 94.

Some of the street names in Switzerland do not contain any descriptors. For example, Hinter der Kirche. Hinter der Kirche translates to Behind the Church in English. Another example is Ausser Glas, which translates to Without Glass in English.

French street names in Switzerland addresses start with lowercase street descriptors such as chemin, route, rue, sentier, and allée.

French street names in Switzerland follow the

STREET_TYPE STREET_NAME HOUSE_NUMBER

format. For example, chemin des Molliettes 12.

German street names in Switzerland follow the

STREET_NAME STREET_TYPE HOUSE_NUMBER

format. For example, Bahnhofstrasse 12.

Because the ß character is not used in Switzerland, the German street names are written as Strasse
instead of Straße
.
