A unit number is a number of a distinct mailing address within a building such as an apartment, suite, floor, and so on. For example, in this address 424 is the building number and 12 is the unit number:

A unit number is a number of a distinct mailing address within a building such as an apartment, suite, floor, and so on. For example, in this address 424 is the building number and 12 is the unit number:

424 Washington Blvd. Apt. 12
Oak Park IL 60302
USA

CMRA

Indicates if the address is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA)

Y
Yes, the address is a CMRA.
N
No, the address is not a CMRA.
U
Unconfirmed.

USLACS

Indicates whether or not the address is a candidate for LACSLink conversion (U.S. addresses only). One of the following:

Y
Yes, the address is a candidate for LACSLink processing. If LACSLink is enabled, ValidateMailingAddressUSCAN will attempt to convert the address using the LACSLink database. If the conversion attempt is successful, the output address is the new address obtained from the LACSLink database. If the attempt is not successful, the address will not be converted.
N
No, the address is not a candidate for LACSLink processing. LACSLink processing may still be attempted if LACSLink processing is requested, the LACSLink database is installed, and one of the following is true:
  • The address matches to a Rural Route address and the RecordType.Default field returns a Y.
  • The input address could not be matched to any address in the U.S. Postal Database (Failures due to multiple matches are not LACSLink candidates.)

USLACS.ReturnCode

Indicates the success or failure of LACSLink processing. (U.S. addresses only.)

A
LACSLink processing successful. Record matched through LACSLink processing.
00
LACSLink processing failed. No matching record found during LACSLink processing.
09
LACSLink processing matched the input address to an older highrise default address. The address has been converted. Rather than provide an imprecise address, LACSLink processing does not provide a new address.
14
LACSLink processing failed. Match found during LACSLink processing but conversion did not occur due to other USPS® regulations.
92
LACSLink processing successful. Record matched through LACSLink processing. Unit number dropped on input.
null
LACSLink did not process the record, or LACSLink processing was not attempted.

SuiteLinkReturnCode

Indicates whether or not ValidateMailingAddressUSCAN corrected the secondary address information (U.S. addresses only). One of the following:

A
ValidateMailingAddressUSCAN corrected the secondary address information.
00

null
SuiteLink was not performed.
XX
SuiteLink processing encountered an error. For example, an error would occur if the SuiteLink database is expired.

SuiteLinkMatchCode

A
ValidateMailingAddressUSCAN corrected the secondary address information.

C
The words in the FirmName field are all "noise" words. Noise words are defined by the USPS® and are ignored when attempting to mach the firm name. Examples of noise words are "company" and "corporation". ValidateMailingAddressUSCAN is not able to correct secondary address information for firm names that consist entirely of noise words. For example "Company and Corporation" is all noise words.
D
The address is not a high-rise default address. SuiteLink matching is only done for high-rise default addresses. A high-rise default is a default to use when the address does not contain valid secondary information (the apartment number or apartment type is missing).
E
SuiteLink processing failed because the SuiteLink database is expired.
null
SuiteLink was not performed or there was an error.

SuiteLinkFidelity

Indicates how well ValidateMailingAddressUSCAN matched the firm name to the firm names in the SuiteLink database.

3
Poor match. More than one word in the firm name did not match the firm name in the SuiteLink database.
null
SuiteLink could not match the firm name, or was not performed, or there was an error.
