Address code lookup mode

Address Verification reference data includes unique values that represent part of an address or the complete address. To return the value for an address, or to retrieve the address information that a value represents, configure Address Verification in address code lookup mode. You must also install the corresponding address code lookup (

ACL

) database with valid license keys.

In address code lookup mode, you can retrieve address information for the following countries:

Austria

Germany

Japan

Serbia

South Africa

United Kingdom

To configure Address Verification in address code lookup mode, specify the address code for the information that you require in the input.

The AddresssCode element includes the following properties:

Value. The address code value.

Type. The type of address code.

When you submit the address code lookup values for processing, Address Verification returns the partial or complete addresses that correspond to the values.

Address Codes

The following table lists the address codes that you can add:

Country	Address Code	Description
Austria	AUT_PACID	An Austria address has a PAC ID value when the address receives mail at another address at the same location. The PAC ID value is the Postal Address Code (PAC) value of the corresponding address that receives the mail. For example, a PAC ID value of 100004254 returns the following address: Neue-Welt-Gasse 2 8010 Graz AUT The address that gives access to the mailbox is the Ident address.
Germany	DEU_AGS	The Amtliche Gemeindeschlüssel (AGS) is a variable-length value that uniquely identifies a municipality in Germany. An AGS value might return more than one level of municipality information. See also DEU_StreetID .
Germany	DEU_LocalityID	The Locality ID is a variable-length value that uniquely identifies a German locality. See also DEU_StreetID .
Germany	DEU_StreetID	The Street ID is a variable-length value that uniquely identifies a German street address.

Address Verification returns a value of 0 for the ResultQuality and PostalRelevance status codes in address code lookup mode, because the lookup returns a partial address.

Address Verification returns a value of U as the Address Type in address code lookup mode.

Transaction key and record ID values in Address code lookup mode

If the address records in your organization contain transaction keys or record ID values, you can use the values in address code lookup mode. When you include the values in the input addresses, Address Verification passes the values through to the output addresses. You can then enter a transaction key or record ID value in address code lookup mode to query the output addresses and to return the address that matches the value.

Use the SourceID to enter the values.
