Standard address output consists of address lines which correspond to how the address would appear on an address label. City, state or province, postal code, and other data are also included in the standard address output.

Table 1. Standard Address Output
Field Name Format Description
AdditionalInputData String Additional input data entered that was not used for matching.
AddressBlock1-2 String The AddressBlock output fields contain a formatted version of the standardized or normalized address as it would be printed on a physical mailpiece. Global Address Validation formats the address into address blocks using postal authority standards. Each line of the address is returned in a separate address block field. There can be up to two address block output fields: AddressBlock1 and AddressBlock2.

AddressBlock1 includes:

  • PO Box—CAN, FRA, GBR
  • Firm Name
  • Unit Number
  • Unit Type
  • House Number
  • Street Name

AddressBlock2 includes:

  • Locality
  • Town
  • Postal Code
  • County
  • State

For example, this input address:

AddressLine1: 34 Glenview Road
City: Mount Kurning-Gai StateProvince: NSW PostalCode: 2080

Results in this address block output:

AddressBlock1: 34 Glenview Road
AddressBlock2: Mount Kurning-Gai NSW 2080

In this example, the input address includes a PO Box (CAN, FRA, and GBR) and the "Prefer PO Box over street" option is selected:

AddressLine1: 1 Great Lawn PO Box 10916 CM5 5AL

Results in this address block output:

AddressBlock1: PO Box 10916
AddressBlock2: ONGAR CM5 5AL
AddressBlock3-10 String Additional AddressBlock fields for USA addresses. For USA addresses, starting from AddressBlock1 the data includes:
  • Firm Name
  • URB name
  • Extra address line information
  • Required address line information
  • Last line
AddressLine1 String The first address line.

For example, 34 GLENVIEW ROAD MOUNT KURNING-GAI NSW 2080.

In an example of a dual address, the address PO BOX 3220 STN C 181 QUEEN STREET OTTAWA ON K1Y1E4 contains both a PO Box and a street address.

If the option "Prefer PO Box over street" is enabled, PO BOX 3220 STN C displays in this field.

If the option "Prefer PO Box over street" is not enabled, 181 QUEEN STREET displays in this field.
