Informatica Address Verification can provide additional information as enrichments to addresses from several countries. Some enrichments are specific to addresses in individual countries, and some enrichments apply equally to every country.
Informatica Address Verification returns the requested enrichments based on the supplementary reference data files that you install and the valid license keys available for the data files.
Enrichments by Country
Use the CountrySpecific property to specify whether Address Verification returns the
enrichments that it offers for individual countries. When you set the
CountrySpecific property to true, Address Verification returns any country-specific
enrichment that it finds in the reference data for the input addresses that identify
the country. The default CountrySpecific property value is false.
You can additionally configure Address Verification to return enrichments for a subset of the countries for which enrichments are available. To do so, set the CountrySpecific property to true, and add a list of one or more countries as an array to the Countries element. Add the ISO three-character codes for each country in a comma-separated list, for example AUT, DEU. When you add a list of countries to the Countries element, Address Verification returns the available enrichments for the countries that you specify only. Find the Countries element under

Global Enrichments
Use the Global property to activate enrichments that can apply in the same way to addresses in
every country. To return the enrichments, set the property to true. The default
value is false.
The presence of an enrichment as a global property does not mean that Address Verification will return the enrichment for every country. Address Verification returns a global enrichment in the same manner for addresses in every country that supports the enrichment.
Address Verification supports the following global enrichments:
TimeZoneCode
A one- to three-character numeric value that indicates the offset between the address time zone and Greenwich Mean Time. For example, the time zone code for Eastern Standard Time is -5.
TimeZoneName
A three-character code that identifies the time zone to which the address belongs. For example, EST identifies Eastern Standard Time.
The global enrichments TimeZoneCode and TimeZoneName are available only for United States addresses.
Status Codes for Enrichments

Verification
returns status codes that describe the status of the
enrichment data in the output address. For information about enrichment status
codes, see Certification and Enrichment Data Status Codes.
