Address Validator Port Reference

Address Validator Port Reference

Address Key

Address Key

Output port that writes the address key to a United Kingdom address. The address key is an eight-digit code that uniquely identifies an address location in the United Kingdom.

Address Key Usage

To find the unique identifier for a United Kingdom address, select the Address Key port.
Consider the following guidelines when you use the Address Key port:
  • The address key might not uniquely identify the destination mailbox for an address record. For example, a single building might contain the residence of John Smith and the office of J. Smith Real Estate.
    To find a unique identifier for a United Kingdom mailbox, select the Unique Delivery Point Reference Number GB port.
  • Address key codes can change regularly, for example if the Royal Mail updates the post code for the address.
