Dual Addresses

Geocode US Address can process input that contains two addresses for the same record on the same address line. For example, Geocode US Address can process the following input address:

3138 HWY 371
PO BOX 120
PRESCOTT AR 71857

Geocode US Address does not recognize dual addresses where the two addresses are both street addresses. For example, Geocode US Address does NOT recognize 135 Main St 4750 Walnut St Ste 200. Geocode US Address does recognize dual addresses where the two addresses are the same type of address but are not street addresses. For example, Geocode US Address does recognize PO BOX 12 PO BOX 2000.

After Geocode US Address parses the dual address, it searches for a match. Geocode US Address determines which address has preference for a match based on the processing mode. In CASS mode, Geocode US Address ignores the prefer PO Box and prefer street options, and attempts to find a match based on the following order: PO Box, Street, Rural Route, and General Delivery. In Relaxed mode, Geocode US Address recognizes the Address Preference (AddressPreference) input option.
