Province Extended Ports

Input and output ports that contain the full name of the province.

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.

Province Extended Usage

Select Province Extended to write the complete province name to the output address record.

Consider the following guidelines when you use Province Extended ports:

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

The complete province name may not be required in the address. For example, in United States addresses, the USPS requires addresses to use the two-letter abbreviation for the state name. Use the Province Country Standard port to write the required province abbreviation.

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