Additional Processing
Global Address Validation uses the default options settings to define additional processing options.
| Option Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Delivery Point Validation (DPV) | Perform Delivery Point Validation (DPV) processing. USPS CASS
regulations require DPV processing. If you do not perform DPV
processing, Global Address Validation does not generate a USPS Form
3553 (CASS Summary Report). The default is disabled. Note: When DPV
is disabled, all DPV options are also disabled and display in a
grayed out mode. Note: If you are performing Global Address
Validation US Addressing processing outside of the physical United
States, you must disable the Delivery Point Validation (DPV) option.
You will not be able to run in a USPS CASS-certified mode. |
| Tie Break | The USPS allows DPV processing to be used as a tie breaker for
matching inexact street records. If only one of the records in a tie
is delivery point validated, a match is allowed to the inexact
record. When processing results in an inexact match due to the input
address directional, DPV processing can be used as a tie breaker if
only one of the records is found to be delivery point validated and
the delivery point validated record does not violate the cardinal
direction rule. The default is enabled. USPS CASS regulations require DPV Tie Break processing to generate the USPS Form 3553 (USPS CASS Summary Report). |
| Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) | Perform Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) processing. A private company offering mailbox rental services to individuals and businesses is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA). The default is disabled. |
| PO Box as Street Address (PBSA) | Perform DPV P.O. Box Street Address (PBSA) processing. A PBSA address is a street address that represents a USPS P.O. Box. Use the PBSA table to identify PBSA addresses. Return the PBSA result to the output. The default is disabled. |
| No-Stat | Perform DPV No-Stat processing. Use the No-Stat table to identify deliveries that are not valid for Computerized Delivery Sequence (CDS) pre-processing. Return the proper No-Stat code to the output. The default is disabled. |
| Vacant | Perform DPV Vacant Table processing. Use the Vacant Table to identify delivery addresses that have been active in the past but, according to USPS data, have not been occupied within the last 90 days. Return the proper Vacant code to the output. The default is disabled. |
| Door Not Accessible (DNA) | Perform DPV Door Not Accessible (DNA) processing. Use the DNA Table to identify delivery addresses where carriers cannot knock on the door for mail delivery or where carriers cannot physically access a residence/building such as rural/highway contract route (HCR), long driveway, or gated community. Return the proper DNA code to the output. The default is disabled. |
| Throwback | Perform DPV P.O. Box Throwback processing. Use the P.O. Box Throwback Table to identify a delivery point that is a street address where mail is not delivered. Instead, delivery is made to the customer’s P.O. Box address. Return the P.O. Box Throwback result to the output. The default is disabled. |
| No Secure Location (NSL) | Perform DPV No Secure Location (NSL) processing. Use the NSL table to identify delivery locations that are not secure. For example, a carrier can access a door but cannot leave a package due to security concerns. The NSL designation alerts mailers to locations where businesses are closed on certain days and locations without mail receptacles (for example, a storefront). Return the NSL result to the output. The default is disabled. |
| Enhanced Line of Travel (eLOT) | Assign enhanced Line of Travel (eLOT) codes. The default is disabled. |
| Early Warning System (EWS) | Perform Early Warning System (EWS) processing. Perform Early Warning System (EWS) processing. New address information that is in use, but not yet available on the ZIP + 4 File, can be found as part of the USPS Early Warning System (EWS). The USPS requires all CASS-certified software to verify addresses that are not found in the current ZIP + 4 File against the USPS EWS File. If an address is found in the EWS File, the address is not matched to any similar addresses in the current ZIP + 4 File. Instead, the input address fails and is not coded until the ZIP + 4 File is updated with the correct address from the USPS EWS File. The default is disabled. |
| Residential Delivery Indicator (RDI) | Perform Residential Delivery Indicator (RDI) processing. The
default is disabled. Note: If you are performing Global Address
Validation US Addressing processing outside of the physical United
States, you must disable the Residential Delivery Indicator (RDI)
option. You will not be able to run in a USPS CASS-certified mode.
|
| LACSLink | Perform LACSLink (Locatable Address Conversion System)
processing. USPS CASS regulations require LACSLink processing. If
you do not perform LACSLink processing, Global Address Validation
does not generate a USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report). The
default is disabled. Note: If you are performing Global Address
Validation US Addressing processing outside of the physical United
States, you must disable the LACSLink option. You will not be able
to run in a USPS CASS-certified mode. |
| SuiteLink | Perform SuiteLink processing. USPS CASS regulations require
SuiteLink processing. If you do not perform SuiteLink processing,
Global Address Validation does not generate a USPS Form 3553 (CASS
Summary Report). The default is disabled. Note: If you are performing
Global Address Validation US Addressing processing outside of the
physical United States, you must disable the SuiteLink option. You
will not be able to run in a USPS CASS-certified mode.

secondary information is available.
