Standard address output consists of four lines of the address which correspond to how the address would appear on an address label. City, state/province, postal code, and other data is also included in standard address output. Standard address output is returned for validated addresses if you set OutputRecordType=A. Standard address output is returned for validated addresses if you set Option.OutputRecordType=A. Standard address output is returned for validated addresses if you select the Include a standard address check box. Standard address fields are always returned for addresses that could not be validated. For non-validated addresses, the standard address output fields contain the address as it appeared in the input ("pass through" data). If you want addresses to be standardized according to postal authority standards when validation fails, specify OutputFormattedOnFail=Y in your request. If you want addresses to be standardized according to postal authority standards when validation fails, specify Option.OutputFormattedOnFail=Y in your request. If you want addresses to be standardized according to postal authority standards when validation fails, select the Include normalized data when no match is found check box.
