Parsed Address Elements Output

Output addresses are formatted in the parsed address format if you select the Include matched address elements check box. If you want Validate Address Loqate to return formatted data in the Parsed Address format when validation fails (that is, a normalized address), select the Return normalized data when no match is found check box.

Note: If you want Validate Address Loqate to always return parsed input data regardless of whether or not validation is successful, select Include standardized input address elements. For more information, see Parsed Input.
