CASS DPV & ZIP+4 Processing 2

Question 1

What does a DPV confirmation indicator of 'Y' signify?

Accepted Answer

Both the primary and secondary address numbers are confirmed as valid delivery points

Answer

A DPV confirmation indicator of 'Y' means the address is fully confirmed—both primary and secondary numbers match a deliverable point in the USPS database.

Question 2

Which DPV footnote code indicates that an input address was matched to a CMRA (Commercial Mail Receiving Agency)?

Accepted Answer

R1

Answer

Footnote R1 is returned when the address matches a CMRA, such as a UPS Store or postal annex that accepts mail on behalf of customers.

Question 3

Which ZIP+4 footnote is returned when an address matches only at the 5-digit ZIP Code level and no ZIP+4 code can be assigned?

Accepted Answer

A1

Answer

Footnote A1 indicates the software matched the address to the 5-digit ZIP Code but could not refine the match to a ZIP+4 record.

Question 4

The DPV footnote 'N1' is returned when which condition is detected in the input address?

Accepted Answer

The secondary number (such as an apartment or suite) is missing

Answer

Footnote N1 indicates the address lacks a required secondary number; the primary number matched but the unit or suite information was absent from the input.

Question 5

What does DPV confirmation indicator 'S' mean in CASS processing?

Accepted Answer

The primary number is confirmed but the secondary number is missing or not confirmed

Answer

Indicator 'S' means the primary number (e.g., street number) was found in the DPV database, but the secondary number (e.g., apartment) could not be confirmed.
