Province Country Standard Ports

Output ports that contain the province name in the form that the national mail carrier prefers.

In address validation, a province is the largest political or administrative division in a country. For example, address validation identfies a state in the United States, a province in Canada, and a canton in Switzerland as provinces.

The Province Country Standard port follows the standard of the national mail carrier in the destination country. For example, the United States Postal Service (USPS) standard requires a two-letter state name abbreviation. The Deutsche Post standard requires the full province name.

Province Country Standard Usage

Select a Province Country Standard output port to write province data to the output address in the form that the mail carrier prefers.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Province Country Standard ports:

There are six Province Country Standard ports. Use Province Country Standard 1 to identify the province. Use Province Country Standard 2 to identify the primary subdivision in the province. For example, use Province Country Standard 2 for county data in the United States. You may need to select a port in the Province Country Standard 3 through Province Country Standard 6 range if the province data is highly complex.

The mail carrier may not require the sub-province data. Or, you may configure sub-province level data on a locality port.
