Address Content Standards
Address content is standardized and validated according to U.S. Postal Service CASS standards, which are documented in USPS Publication 28 USPS Postal Addressing Standards (http://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/pubs/pub28/pub28.pdf) and CASS system documentation. Examples of standardization applied include steps to: Correct the city and state if they are discernible Correct the ZIP code if needed, based on other address content Add the +4 extension to five-digit ZIP codes Correct the street name if it is misspelled in simple ways Correct the street type if it is incorrect Validate the house and/or building number Verify the suite, floor, unit, and so on, if it is needed for an address. Note: Some addresses require the suite number. Standardize abbreviations for streets Standardize capitalization Add directional for streets, if applicable, pre- and post- street name (N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW) Reference: You can access a web-based validation tool at https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!inpu
