Qualifiers

Response Element	Max. Field Length with null terminator	Description
AddressLineResolved	5	For two-line addresses, indicates which address line was used to obtain the match. 0 The address could not be matched, or the address matched to multiple addresses. 1 AddressLine1 was used to obtain the match. 2 AddressLine2 was used to obtain the match. 3 Both address lines were used in their original order. 4 Both address lines were used but the order of the lines was switched to obtain the match. 5 The input address was a one line address.
CountryLevel	2	The category of the postal data used to validate the address. Always returns "A" for U.S. addresses. Category A means that the postal data is sufficient to validate and correct addresses, including providing missing postal code, city name, state/county name, street address elements, and country name.
DatabaseVersion		The publish date of the USPS data used to validate the address, in the format `Month Year`.
EWSMatch	2	Indicates whether the address was not matched because it is in the Early Warning System (EWS) data. Y The address matched to an address in the EWS data so the match was denied. null The address did not match to an address in the EWS data.
ExpirationDate	11	Date the database expires, in the format `MM/DD/YYYY`.
Geocoder.MatchCode	4	Indicates how closely the input address matches the candidate address. Note: The match codes returned in this field are different from the match codes described in Match Codes. Instead, the match codes returned in this field are taken from a set of match codes that are compatible with all other country geocoders. For more information, see Result Codes for International Geocoding.
GeoStanMatchScore	13	Record matching score (for multimatches only).
Intersection	2	Indicates if the input address matched to a cross-street. T True F False
IsAlias	4	Indicates whether the address matched an index alias in the postal data. Returns three characters. The first is an `N` for normal street match or `A` for alias match (including buildings, aliases, firms, etc.). The next two characters are: 01 Basic index (normal address match) 02 USPS street name alias index 03 USPS building index 04 USPS firm name index 05 Statewide intersection alias match 06 Spatial data street name alias 07 Alternate index 08 LACS^Link 09 Auxiliary file match 11 POI index (when using poi.gsi) 12 USPS Preferred Alias 13 ZIPMove match (when using us.gsz) 14 Expanded Centroids match (when using us_cent.gsc and/or bldgcent.gsc)
IsCloseMatch	2	Indicates whether or not the address was a unique match or if there were candidate addresses. Y Yes, the address is a close match. This field always contains "Y" if there is only one match. N No, the address is not a close match. The record is a candidate.
LACSAddress	2	Indicates if the input address was converted due to the Locatable Address Conversion System (LACS). L Converted null Not converted
LocationCode.Description		LocationCode converted to text. Only returned when you set the configuration options to return additional descriptions (verbose).
MatchCode.Description		MatchCode converted to text. Only returned when you set the configuration options to return additional descriptions (verbose).
RecordType	18	Indicates the record type: GeneralDelivery HighRise FirmRecord Normal PostOfficeBox RRHighwayContract Geographic (non USPS TIGER match) Auxiliary (match to an auxiliary file)
RecordType.Default	2	Indicates type of match that occurred for the record type HighRise or RRHighwayContract: Y Default match N Exact match U Not matched
StreetDataCode	3	Indicates the data used to geocode the address. One of the following: 0 USPS data 1 TIGER data 2 TomTom data 6 HERE data 7 TomTom point-level data 9 Auxiliary file data 10 User Dictionary 11 HERE point-level data 12 Master Location Data For more information about these databases, see Enterprise Geocoding Databases.
StreetDataType	20	Indicates the data initially used for the match attempt. Note that the output field StreetDataCode shows which data was actually used to obtain the match. The data indicated in StreetDataType may be different from that in StreetDataCode if a match cannot be made in the initial match attempt. For example, if a points database is loaded, GeocodeUSAddress will first attempt a match to the point data because this is the most accurate type of match. If a point-level match cannot be made, GeocodeUSAddress will attempt to match to street data. If the match is made using street data, then the SreetDataType would indicate the point-level data and the StreetDataCode would indicate the street data. For more information, see How GeocodeUSAddress Processes Addresses.
