Confirm validated field

so your address is showing up as invalid a it can be very frustrating especially when you know it's a real place and you type it into Google or Bing or Yahoo or Ask Jeeves and there it is heck even the US Postal Service website says it recognizes it today I'm going to explain why that happens and some possible solutions to help get you out of this pickle seriously it's a big deal the United States Postal Service does tell you if an address is valid according to their records but they don't make it so easy to tell you have to know where to find and how to decipher the information they spit out at you at first glance may look like the address has been confirmed and validated but hold your horses click that arrow to the right of the return address and scroll down to the bottom if we take a look at the DPV confirmation indicator it will indicate n for no meaning the input that you have entered does not have an exact match in our USPS dataset or Y for yes which means we've found an address in our dataset that matches your input hellboy now just because you see a Y doesn't mean you're in the clear a valid USPS address is also marked by a nine digit zip code which is commonly referred to as a zip plus four whereas the invalid address will only return a five digit zip code so what about Google I type in my address and it comes right up it even shows me a picture there must be an issue because it still says my address is invalid Google Maps Yahoo Bing Map Quest provide mapping / location services they let you know where an address might be if they were valid it's not in their scope of services to let you know if the address is deliverable just where it's located on a map smartest streets data comes from the US Postal Service we take the address data given to us and compare it to all the known valid addresses in the US Postal Service data set smarter streets then tells you if the address has a match or is only partially matched according to the most up-to-date data set from the US Postal Service when we say an address is invalid what we're really saying is according to the most up-to-date postal service data the address you gave us is not known to the US Postal Service as an address of a service now hold on I understand the US Postal Service website stuff now and I realize that Google doesn't validate they just show me where things are but FedEx and UPS can still deliver packages to the address in question how do you explain that companies like FedEx and UPS use their own proprietary address data which is different from the US Postal Service imagine going to the website for Walmart and entering in your zip code to their store locator tool you'll be able to see all the Walmart's that exist close to your zip code you will not however be able to see the Target stores that also exist in your area that doesn't mean that Target doesn't exist or is invalid just that the data set that is being used by Walmart does not include it smarty streets results match a database of known US Postal Service deliverable addresses so what can be done to remedy the situation you can contact your local address management system office and petition that your address be added to their database click the link in the description and type in your zip code to get the contact information for your local AMS office or you can look into whether a post office box street address or PBS a is right for you for more information you can click on the PBS a link in the description gosh wouldn't it be nice to have a data set that had the information from all the big data sets out there we're working on it
