Alias Locality

Determines whether address validation replaces a valid locality alias with the official locality name.

A locality alias is an alternative locality name that the USPS recognizes as an element in a deliverable address. You can use the property when you configure the Address Validator transformation to validate United States address records in Certified mode.

The following table describes the Alias Locality options:

Option	Description
Off	Disables the Alias Locality property.
Official	Replaces any alternative locality name or locality alias with the official locality name. Default option.
Preserve	Preserves a valid alternative locality name or locality alias. If the input locality name is not valid, address validation replaces the name with the official name.
