Delivery Sequence File Second Generation Vacant Indicator

Delivery Sequence File Second Generation Vacant Indicator

Output port that indicates whether an address is inactive. The USPS may consider an address inactive if it is unoccupied for 90 days.
The USPS maintains a Delivery Sequence File that lists all United States addresses with a valid delivery point code. Address validation validates an address against the Delivery Sequence File if the address contains a valid Delivery Point Code.
The USPS also maintains a table of addresses that are formally correct but that do not qualify for inclusion in the Delivery Sequence File. The table is called the No-Statistics table. The USPS does not deliver mail to any address on the table. Because the address does not qualify for a carrier route, the USPS does not collect statistics about the address. The Delivery Sequence File Second Generation No Statistics Indicator port returns a status value that indicates whether an address is present on the table.
The USPS might add an address to the No-Statistics table for one of the following reasons:
  • The USPS has not yet established delivery to the address.
  • The customer receives mail as a part of mail forwarding service.
  • The postal carrier returns the mail undelivered.
The Delivery Sequence File also omits general delivery addresses. An address is considered "general delivery" if the addressee cannot receive mail at a physical mailbox. General delivery addressees can collect mail at a USPS post office.

Delivery Sequence File Second Generation Vacant Indicator Usage

Select Delivery Sequence File Second Generation Vacant Indicator to identify addresses that the USPS considers undeliverable because the DSF2 file indicates that the address is unoccupied.
